Siple Coast

Siple Coast (82°0′S 155°0′W) 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 (83°30′S 153°00′W) and the south end of Shirase Coast (80°10′S 151°00′W). 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.

gollark: Anyway, I figure I'll start on the whole project *now* by creating a folder™ containing all the potatOS code.
gollark: Plus verifying the checksums and such.
