The Wreath Valley ( English for Kranztal ) is an ice-free high valley in the East Antarctic Victoria Land . It lies between the Lazzara Ledge and Conway Peak in the Apocalypse Peaks . It is the westernmost of a group of four high valleys; the others are Albert Valley , Papitashvili Valley, and Hernandez Valley .
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 2005 after a rock formation at the head of the valley that looks like a wreath from a distance .
