For the coastline of England, see [Coastline of the United Kingdom](/source/Coastline_of_the_United_Kingdom). Northern part on Antarctic Peninsula The **English Coast** or **Robert English Coast** is a portion of the coast of [Antarctica](/source/Antarctica) between the northern tip of [Rydberg Peninsula](/source/Rydberg_Peninsula) and the [Buttress Nunataks](/source/Buttress_Nunataks), on the west side of [Palmer Land](/source/Palmer_Land). To the west is [Bryan Coast](/source/Bryan_Coast), and northward runs [Rymill Coast](/source/Rymill_Coast) east of [Alexander Island](/source/Alexander_Island) across [George VI Sound](/source/George_VI_Sound). This coast was discovered and explored in 1940, on land by [Finn Ronne](/source/Finn_Ronne) and [Carl R. Eklund](/source/Carl_R._Eklund) and from the air by other members of the East Base of the [United States Antarctic Service](/source/United_States_Antarctic_Service) (USAS), 1939–41. It was originally named "Robert English Coast" after Captain [Robert A. J. English](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Robert_A._J._English&action=edit&redlink=1), US Navy, Executive Secretary of USAS, 1939–41, and formerly Captain of the *[Bear of Oakland](/source/Bear_of_Oakland)* on the [Byrd Antarctic Expedition](/source/Byrd_Antarctic_Expedition), 1933–35. The name is shortened for the sake of brevity.[1] The English Coast is divided between [Palmer Land](/source/Palmer_Land) on the Antarctic Peninsula and [Ellsworth Land](/source/Ellsworth_Land) to the south and west.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-gnis_1-0)** ["English Coast"](https://web.archive.org/web/2020/https://geonames.usgs.gov/apex/f?p=gnispq:5:::NO::P5_ANTAR_ID:4530). *[Geographic Names Information System](/source/Geographic_Names_Information_System)*.
