Template:Short description The Siple Coast (Template:IPAc-en Script error: No such module "Respell".;[1] Script error: No such module "Coordinates".) 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 (Script error: No such module "Coordinates".) and the south end of Shirase Coast (Script error: No such module "Coordinates".). The area was originally called Kirton Coast, but was renamed by NZ-APC in 1961 after Paul A. Siple, a noted American scientist-explorer who accompanied R. Admiral Richard E. Byrd on all of his Antarctic expeditions.
