A steep-sided, glacier-filled valley indenting the E side of Daniels Range just N of White Spur, in the Usarp Mountains. The northern party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1963-64, experienced fine weather here after several days of unpleasant travel; therefore, members named it after Milton's poem "L'Allegro" in antithesis with Penseroso Bluff, 14 mi to the north.
