The Jacobsen Valley (English; Bulgarian долина Якобсен dolina Jakobsen ) is a shallow, 3.5 km long and 1.2 km wide valley in the Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains in the west Antarctic Ellsworthland . It extends north of Mount Vinson . Limited it to the west by the Branscomb peak and Galicia peak , to the east by a low ridge between the east side of Mount Vinson and the Goodge Col . The valley is drained by a secondary glacier of the Branscomb Glacier , which is part of the classic ascent route to Mount Vinson.
American scientists mapped it in 1988. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2010 after Solveig Gunbjørg Jacobsen (1913–1996), who was born on October 8, 1913 in Grytviken on South Georgia as the first person born south of the Antarctic Convergence .
