The Gould Coast (84°30′S 150°0′W) is a portion of the coast of Antarctica along the eastern margin of the Ross Ice Shelf at Amundsen Coast between the west side of Scott Glacier and the south end of the Siple Coast (83°30′S 153°0′W). It was named by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1961 for Laurence M. Gould, a geologist who was second-in-command of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, 1928–30. Gould led the Geological Party which in 1929 mapped 175 miles (280 km) of this coast. While president of Carleton College, Northfield, Minnesota, he was appointed Chairman of the U.S. National Committee for the International Geophysical Year and took a prominent part in planning the United States research program for Antarctica.[1]

In particolare, la costa di Gould si estende tra l'estremità settentrionale del flusso di ghiaccio Whillans (83°30′S 153°00′W), a nord, e il versante occidentale del ghiacciaio Scott (85°45′S 153°00′W), a sud, e confina a nord con la costa di Siple e a sud-ovest con la costa di Amundsen. La costa di Gould è di fatto la parte meridionale della costa antartica che fiancheggia la parte orientale della barriera di Ross, la quale si estende, appunto, davanti a tutta la lunghezza della costa di Gould.[1]Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
