The Meier Valley is a valley on the Loubet coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . It is located on the Arrowsmith Peninsula just east of Mount St. Louis .
Aerial photographs of the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (1956–1957) were used to map it. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1960 after the American geologist and glaciologist Mark Frederick Meier (* 1925), who first determined the ice tension on the entire surface of a glacier in 1952 using the example of the Saskatchewan Glacier in Canada.
