The Raudberg Valley ( Norwegian Raudbergdalen ) is a mainly icy valley in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land , which extends to the northwest over a length of around 32 km in the Borg massif .
Norwegian cartographers mapped it using geodetic surveys and aerial photographs of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952). It is descriptively named after the naming of the Raudberget , for which the red ( Norwegian raud ) coloring of the rocks of the mountain was decisive.
