The sheer ice cliffs of the Caird Coast as seen by [Shackleton's Expedition](/source/Imperial_Trans-Antarctic_Expedition) in January, 1915

The **Caird Coast** is the portion of the coast of [Coats Land](/source/Coats_Land) lying between the terminus of [Stancomb-Wills Glacier](/source/Stancomb-Wills_Glacier), in 20º00´W, and the vicinity of the [Hayes Glacier](/source/Hayes_Glacier), in 27º54´W. Shackleton named it for Sir [James Key Caird](/source/James_Key_Caird), patron of the expedition.[1]

As part of the ill-fated British [Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition](/source/Imperial_Trans-Antarctic_Expedition), [Ernest Shackleton](/source/Ernest_Shackleton) continued the exploration southward, joining Bruce's discovery to land which [Wilhelm Filchner](/source/Wilhelm_Filchner) had discovered from the *Deutschland* in 1912.
