泰勒谷(南纬77°33‘，东经163°25’)是一个名为麦克默多绿洲的冰川消融山谷综合体的一部分，该综合体位于罗斯岛以西约80公里处，穿过麦克默多海峡。自从鸡年以来，新西兰和美国的许多地质队都在这个1-3区工作，从罗斯岛南端的斯科特基地和麦克默多站乘坐直升机很容易到达。现在，地形和地质勘察阶段已经完成，适当的地图覆盖了麦克默多绿洲2500平方公里，人们更加关注各种异常和问题的研究。
TAYLOR VALLEY (77° 33′ S., 163° 25′ E.) is part of a deglaciated valley complex called the McMurdo Oasis, which is located about 80 km to the west of Ross Island across McMurdo Sound. Since the IGY many New Zealand and American geological parties have worked in this area1–3, which is easily accessible by helicopter from Scott Base and McMurdo Station at the southern end of Ross Island. Now that the topographical and geological reconnaissance stage has been completed and adequate maps cover the 2,500 km2 of the McMurdo Oasis, more attention is being devoted to the study of various anomalies and problems.
