George V Coast

George V Coast (68°30′S 148°0′E) 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.

gollark: Take SIM cards. Why are they still discrete hardware devices, *running Java*?
gollark: To be honest the phone network and everything associated with it seems terribly designed.
gollark: And there probably will be, since they can hardly vet all of them thoroughly: there are probably a lot of VoIP providers.
gollark: But they *can*, if some provider comes along which is willing to verify a call with a faked number.
gollark: I mean that it seems to require trusting the provider of the other end, i.e. the one the robocaller is subscribed to.
