The Hillary Coast is that portion of the coast of Antarctica along the western margin of the Ross Ice Shelf between Minna Bluff and Cape Selborne. It was named by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1961 for Sir Edmund Hillary, the leader of the New Zealand Party of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition, 1956–58. Various New Zealand parties carried out detailed surveys of portions of this coast and pioneered routes up Skelton Glacier and Darwin Glacier to the polar plateau.[1]

In particolare, la costa di Shackleton si estende a fianco margine occidentale della Barriera di Ross, precisamente tra capo Selborne (80°23′S 160°45′E), alla bocca dell'insenatura di Barne, a sud-est, e la scogliera Minna (78°31′S 166°25′E), un promontorio roccioso alla bocca della baia di Moore, a nord-ovest, e confina a sud-est con la costa di Shackleton e a nord-ovest con la costa di Scott (e quindi con la Terra della Regina Vittoria).[1]
