Hobbs Coast

Hobbs Coast (coord|74|50|S|132|0|W|) is that portion of the coast of Marie Byrd Land extending from Cape Burks to a point on the coast opposite eastern Dean Island, at coord|74|42|S|127|05|W|, or between Ruppert Coast in the west and Bakutis Coast in the east. It stretches from 136°50'W to 127°35'. It was discovered by the US Antarctic Service (USAS) (1939-41) and named for Prof. William H. Hobbs of the University of Michigan, a glaciologist specializing in polar geography and history. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) completely mapped the coast from ground surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959-65.
