That portion of the coast of Marie Byrd Land between Cape Colbeck and Brennan Point. This coast was explored from the air on Dec. 5, 1929, by the ByrdAE (1928-30) and was first mapped from aerial photographs obtained on that flight by Capt. Harold E. Saunders, USN (Saunders Mountain, q.v.), for whom the coast is named. The USGS completely mapped the coast from ground surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959-65.
