'''Balaena Valley''' ({{coord|63|20|S|56|23|W|source:GNIS}}) is a gently sloping [[valley]], filled with ice, lying east of [[Suspiros Bay]] in the western part of [[Joinville Island]]. It was surveyed by the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] in 1953–54. The ''Balaena'' ([[Alexander Fairweather]], master) was one of the [[Dundee]] whaling ships that visited the Joinville Island group in 1892–93. The name was applied in 1956 by the [[United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] and derives from association with [[Cape Kinnes]] {{convert|4|mi|0}} to the south-west; [[Robert Kinnes]] was the Dundee shipowner and merchant who equipped these ships for their Antarctic voyage. |
