Erratic Valley is a short valley on Alexander Island in the British Antarctic Territory. It joins Ablation Valley from the north.
The valley was named from the large number of glacial erratic igneous blocks observed in the valley by a University of Aberdeen field party which mapped the area in 1978–79.
The site lies within the 'Ablation Point – Ganymede Heights Antarctic Specially Protected Area' (ASPA No.147).[1]
