Sörling Valley

Sörling Valley is an ice-free valley between Cumberland East Bay and Hound Bay on the north side of South Georgia. Surveyed by the SGS in the period 1951–57. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Erik Sörling of the Riksmuseum, Stockholm, who made zoological collections in South Georgia in 1904–05. Nearby features include Ellerbeck Peak, a mountain on the south side of the valley. On 21 April 1982, during the Falklands War, the British SBS was landed at Hound Bay beach from helicopters based on HMS Endurance, and attempted to cross to the Argentine positions through Sorling Valley and Cumberland East Bay.

The Barff Peninsula projects northwest from Sörling Valley.
