Maigo Zawa ( Japanese 迷 子 沢 'Lost Child Valley' ) is a shallow valley on East Ongul Island in the Flatvær archipelago off the Prince Harald Coast of Queen Maud Land in East Antarctica . It is on the west side of Miharashi Peak .
Japanese cartographers mapped it using surveys and aerial photographs from 1957 to 1962. They named it in 1963 after four members of a Japanese research team had to build a bivouac here in 1960 as a result of a snow storm .
