Wilkins Coast location

**Wilkins Coast** is that portion of the east coast of the [Antarctic Peninsula](/source/Antarctic_Peninsula) between [Cape Agassiz](/source/Cape_Agassiz) and [Cape Boggs](/source/Cape_Boggs).[1]

## Name

Wilkins Coast was named by the United States [Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names](/source/Advisory_Committee_on_Antarctic_Names) (US-ACAN) for Sir [Hubert Wilkins](/source/Hubert_Wilkins), who in a pioneer Antarctic exploratory flight on December 20, 1928, flew southward from [Deception Island](/source/Deception_Island) and crossed the Antarctic Peninsula to its east side. He continued southward to [Stefansson Strait](/source/Stefansson_Strait) and [Hearst Island](/source/Hearst_Island), which lie midway along Wilkins Coast.[1]
