Nordenskjold Coast
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nordenskjold Coast () is that portion of the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula between Cape Longing and Cape Fairweather. The name was proposed in 1909 by Edwin Swift Balch, for Otto Nordenskiöld, Swedish geographer and leader of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition, 1901-04, who explored this coast in 1902.
The area was later explored by Lincoln Ellsworth.
