English Coast is a portion of the coast of Antarctica between the northern tip of Rydberg Peninsula and the Buttress Nunataks, on the west side of Palmer Land. To the west is Bryan Coast, and northward runs Rymill Coast east of Alexander Island across George VI Sound. This coast was discovered and explored in 1940, on land by Finn Ronne and Carl R. Eklund and from the air by other members of the East Base of the US Antarctic Service (USAS), 1939–41. It was originally named "Robert English Coast" after Capt. Robert A.J. English, US Navy, Executive Secretary of USAS, 1939–41, and formerly Captain of the Bear of Oakland on the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1933–35. The name is shortened for the sake of brevity.[1]

In particolare, la costa English si estende nella parte occidentale della penisola Antartica, tra i nunatak di Buttress (72°21′S 66°50′W), a nordest, e la penisola di Rydberg (73°10′S 79°45′W), a sudovest, confinando a nord con la costa di Rymill e a sudovest con la costa di Bryan. La costa è separata dalla costa di Lassiter, sul lato orientale della penisola Antartica, per mezzo delle Antartande. Davanti alla costa è presente la piattaforma di ghiaccio Giorgio VI che, ricoprendo il canale di Giorgio VI, racchiude al suo interno diverse piccole isole e che la separa dall'isola di Alessandro I.[1]Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
