The Urfjelldokka is a wide and icy valley in the East Antarctic Queen Maud Land . It lies between the cliffs of Urfjell and the rock spur Skappelnabben along the Kirwanveggen in Maudheimvidda .
Norwegian cartographers mapped the valley on the basis of surveys and aerial photographs of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952) and aerial photographs of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960). The name is based on that of the Urfjell.
