Siple Coast

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Siple Coast (82°0′S 155°0′W) is the middle portion of the relatively ill-defined coast along the east side of the Ross Ice Shelf, between the north end of Gould Coast (83°30′S 153°00′W) and the south end of Shirase Coast (80°10′S 151°00′W). It was named by NZ-APC in 1961 after Paul A. Siple, noted American scientist-explorer who accompanied R. Admiral Richard E. Byrd on all his Antarctic expeditions.
