That portion of the coast of Antarctica along the S shore of the Bellingshausen Sea between Pfrogner Point and the N tip of Rydberg Peninsula. The eastern end of this coast was discovered from the air during flights of the USAS (1939-41) and RARE (1947-48). The entire coast was mapped by USGS from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1961-67. Originally named George Bryan Coast after R. Admiral George S. Bryan, Hydrographer of the U.S. Navy, 1938-46, under whose direction noteworthy contributions to polar geography were made. The name has been shortened for the sake of brevity.
