Wilkins Coast is that portion of the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula between Cape Agassiz and Cape Boggs. [1]
Wilkins Coast was named by the United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Sir Hubert Wilkins, who in a pioneer Antarctic exploratory flight on December 20, 1928, flew southward from Deception Island and crossed the Antarctic Peninsula to its east side. He continued southward to Stefansson Strait and Hearst Island, which lie midway along Wilkins Coast. [1]
Thurston Island is a largely ice-covered, glacially dissected island, 135 nautical miles long and 55 nautical miles wide, lying between between Amundsen Sea and Bellingshausen Sea a short way off the northwest end of Ellsworth Land, Antarctica. The island is separated from the mainland by Peacock Sound, which is occupied by the west portion of Abbot Ice Shelf.
The Hauberg Mountains are a group of mountains of about 35 nautical miles extent, located 12 nautical miles north of Cape Zumberge and 30 nautical miles south of the Sweeney Mountains in eastern Ellsworth Land, Antarctica.

Odom Inlet is an ice-filled inlet 9 nautical miles long, between Cape Howard and Cape MacDonald along the east coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica.
The Hollick-Kenyon Peninsula(68°35′S63°50′W) is an ice-covered spur from the main mountain mass of the Antarctic Peninsula. It projects over 40 nautical miles in a northeasterly arc from its base between Mobiloil Inlet and Casey Inlet.
King Peninsula is an ice-covered peninsula, 100 nautical miles long and 20 nautical miles wide, lying south of Thurston Island and forming the south side of Peacock Sound, Antarctica. It projects from the continental ice sheet and trends west between the Abbot Ice Shelf and Cosgrove Ice Shelf to terminate at the Amundsen Sea.
Bowman Inlet is an ice-filled inlet between Kay Nunatak and Platt Point on the Hollick-Kenyon Peninsula, on the east coast of the Antarctic Peninsula.
Bryan Coast is that portion of the coast of Antarctica along the south shore of the Bellingshausen Sea between Pfrogner Point and the northern tip of the Rydberg Peninsula. To the west is Eights Coast, and to the east is English Coast.
Carroll Inlet is an inlet, 40 nautical miles long and 6 nautical miles wide, trending southeast along the coast of Ellsworth Land, Antarctica, between the Rydberg Peninsula and Smyley Island. The head of the inlet is divided into two arms by the presence of Case Island and is bounded to the east by Stange Ice Shelf.
Casey Inlet is an ice-filled inlet at the terminus of Casey Glacier, between Miller Point and Cape Walcott, on the east coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica.
Condor Peninsula is a mountainous, ice-covered peninsula, 30 nautical miles long and 10 to 15 nautical miles wide, between Odom Inlet and Hilton Inlet on the east coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica.
Kvinge Peninsula is a snow-covered peninsula at the north side of Palmer Inlet terminating in Cape Bryant, on the east coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica.
Eielson Peninsula is a rugged, mainly snow-covered peninsula, 20 nautical miles long in an east–west direction and averaging 10 nautical miles wide, lying between Smith Inlet and Lehrke Inlet on the east coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica.
Hughes Ice Piedmont is the ice piedmont between Cordini Glacier and Smith Inlet on the east coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica.
Hilton Inlet is an ice-filled inlet, 12 nautical miles wide, which recedes about 22 nautical miles west from its entrance between Cape Darlington and Cape Knowles, along the east coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica.
Scripps Heights are rugged heights which are largely ice-covered, surmounting the peninsula between Casey Glacier and Lurabee Glacier on the east coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica. Deeply scarred by glaciers, the heights terminate on the east in Cape Walcott.
Stefansson Strait is an ice-filled strait 35 nautical miles long and 3 to 10 nautical miles wide, between the east coast of Palmer Land and Hearst Island, Antarctica.
The Smith Peninsula is an ice-covered, "dog-legged" peninsula 25 nautical miles long and 10 nautical miles wide, extending in an easterly direction between Keller Inlet and Nantucket Inlet from the east coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica.
Smith Inlet is an ice-filled inlet receding 15 nautical miles in a westerly direction between Cape Boggs and Cape Collier, along the east coast of Palmer Land, Antarctica.
