Siple Coast
The Siple Coast (/ˈsaɪpəl/ SIGH-p'l;[1] Lua error in Module:Coordinates at line 489: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value).) 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 (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.) and the south end of Shirase Coast (Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.). The area was originally called Kirton Coast, but was renamed by NZ-APC in 1961 after Paul A. Siple, a noted American scientist-explorer who accompanied R. Admiral Richard E. Byrd on all of his Antarctic expeditions.
