Woodfjorddalen is a valley in Andrée Land at Spitsbergen, Svalbard. It forms a southeastward continuation of the fjord Woodfjorden.[1] The upper part of the valley is covered by the glacier Abrahamsenbreen.[2] At the lower part of the valley is the flat sand and clay area Poninskiøyra and the hill Tantalushaugen.[3][4] A side valley to the south is Piræusdalen, six kilometers from the head of Woodfjorden.[5] North of the valley is the mountain group Vaktarfjella, with a length of about eleven kilometers.[6]
