Gould Coast

Siple Coast (-82°N, -155°W) is the middle portion of the relatively ill-defined coast along the east side of the Ross Ice Shelf, between the north end of Gould Coast (-83.5°N, -153°W) and the south end of Shirase Coast (-80.16667°N, -151°W).

His namesakes include the research vessel Laurence M. Gould as well as Antarctic features including Gould Bay, Gould Coast, and Mount Gould.

The Ross Sea extends much further south – as far as the Gould Coast, some 320 km from the South Pole – but most of that area is covered by the Ross Ice Shelf rather than open sea.

The Ross Sea is the southernmost sea in the world, with its southernmost extremity (Gould Coast) at the foot of the Horlick Mountains approximately 200 mi from the Geographic South Pole. However, this area is covered by the Ross Ice Shelf. The southernmost open sea is also part of Ross Sea, namely Bay of Whales at 78°30'S, at the edge of Ross Ice Shelf.

Engelhardt Ice Ridge (-83.33333°N, -146°W) is an ice ridge between Whillans Ice Stream and Kamb Ice Stream (formerly Ice Streams B and C) near the junction of Gould Coast and Siple Coast in Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica.

The southernmost part of the Ross Sea is Gould Coast, which is approximately 200 mi from the geographic South Pole.

Mercer Ice Stream (-84.83333°N, -145°W), formerly Ice Stream A, flows west to Gould Coast to the south of Whillans Ice Stream, Antarctica.

The southernmost point of ocean is located on the Gould Coast (-84.5°N, -150°W).
