The Ringer Valley is a valley in East Antarctic Victoria Land . It lies between the Kuivinen Ridge and Stone Ridge ridges in the Saint Johns Range . The lower and middle sections of the valley are occupied by the Ringer Glacier , which flows north to the Miller Glacier . The upper, ie southern, section is mostly free of ice.
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named the valley in 2005 in connection with the glacier of the same name and the moraine The Ringer . The latter has a conspicuous, eponymous circular symmetry in its projection surface .
