We use this to denote the geographical extent of studies that encompass the whole Taylor Valley. According to Wiki contributors, the Taylor Valley is the southernmost of the three large Dry Valleys in the Transantarctic Mountains, Victoria Land, located west of McMurdo Sound. The valley extends from Taylor Glacier in the west to McMurdo Sound at Explorers Cove at the northwest head of New Harbour in the east and is about 29 kilometres (18 mi) long. It was once occupied by the receding Taylor Glacier, from which it derives its name. Taylor Valley contains Lake Bonney in the west (inward), and Lake Fryxell in the east (coastward), and Lake Hoare, Lake Chad, Mummy Pond and Parera Pond close together between the two. Further east of Lake Bonney is Pearse Valley. Taylor Valley is separated from Wright Valley in the north by Asgard Range, and from Ferrar Glacier in the south by Kukri Hills. 163.624877929690 161.707763671880 -77.808487073526 -77.519802097166 2018-12-21 Funding for the publication of this data package was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) grants #OPP-1637708 and #OPP-2224760 to the MCM LTER. https://mcm.lternet.edu/sites/default/files/data/mcmlter-clim-smarrito-20181221_rain_event-20240507.zip rain event eng; US McMurdo Dry Valleys LTER rain event Number of Header Lines : 1 Orientation : Column Field Delimiter : , false DBF https://mcm.lternet.edu/sites/default/files/data/mcmlter-clim-smarrito-20181221_rain_event-20240507.zip dataset Footage was captured by L Smarrito on a cellular phone as two separate video clips.
