The Bore Valley is a valley of South Georgia running north from Grytviken to Lewis Pass.
The name is from the Swedish Bore, a Swedish rendering of the name of Boreas, the Greek god of the north wind. Originally the name was applied to this valley along with the valley that runs north from Lewis Pass to Maiviken, but the latter is know known as Maidalen.
The valley was surveyed by the Swedish Antarctic Expedition and named Bore-Tal because of geological evidence that ice had once filled the valley.
