[[File:Shackleton Coast map.png|thumb|right|250px|Location of Shackleton Coast (marked in orange) within the Ross Dependency]]
'''Shackleton Coast''' is that portion of the coast along the west side of the [[Ross Ice Shelf]] between [[Cape Selborne]] and [[Airdrop Peak]] at the east side of [[Beardmore Glacier]] in [[Antarctica]]. Named by [[New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee]] (NZ-APC) in 1961 after [[Sir Ernest Shackleton]]. He accompanied Scott on the southern journey during the ''Discovery'' expedition (1901–04) and subsequently led three Antarctic expeditions. On the [[Nimrod Expedition|British Antarctic Expedition]] (1907–09), Shackleton discovered the area beyond [[Shackleton Inlet]] to the [[Beardmore Glacier]], and was the first to find a practicable route to the [[South Pole]]. Lack of food stopped him 97 miles (180 km) from his goal.
