The Limestone Valley (English for limestone valley ) is a valley on Signy Island in the archipelago of the South Orkney Islands . It extends from Cemetery Bay in a north-westerly direction, leads directly to the Jane Col and thus allows access to the west coast of the island.
The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1974 after the occurrence of limestone in the cliffs above the valley.
