Siple Coast
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Siple Coast () 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 () and the south end of Shirase Coast (). 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.
