George V Coast

George V Coast (68°30′S 148°0′E / 68.500°S 148.000°E / -68.500; 148.000) is that portion of the coast of Antarctica lying between Point Alden, at 148°2′E, and Cape Hudson, at 153°45′E.

Portions of this coast were sighted by the US Exploring Expedition in 1840.^[1] It was explored by members of the Main Base party of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (1911–14) under Douglas Mawson who named this feature for King George V of the United Kingdom.^[2]

The segment of land between these lines of longitude is referred to as George V Land. Mertz Glacier is located in this area.
