Narrative

That portion of the coast along the E margin of the Ross Ice Shelf between the W side of Scott Glacier and the S end of Siple Coast (8330S, 15300W). Named by NZ-APC in 1961 for Laurence M. Gould, a geologist who was second-in-command of the ByrdAE, 1928-30. Gould led the Geological Party which in 1929 mapped 175 miles of this coast. While president of Carleton College, Northfield, Minnesota, he was appointed Chairman of the U.S. National Committee for the IGY and took a prominent part in planning the United States research program for Antarctica.
