Mawson Coast

The Mawson Coast is that portion of the coast of Mac. Robertson Land, Antarctica, lying between William [Scoresby Bay], at 59°34′E, and Murray Monolith, at 66°54′E. The coast was sighted during the British [Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition], 1929–30, under Sir Douglas Mawson. Further exploration and landings at Cape Bruce and Scullin Monolith were made during BANZARE, 1930–31. Mawson Coast was named by the Antarctic [Names Committee of Australia] after Mawson in recognition of his great contribution to Antarctic exploration.
Trethewry Point is a rocky promontory high, projecting from the coast east of William Scoresby Bay on the Mawson Coast. It was discovered and named in February 1936 by DI personnel on the RRS [William Scoresby|William Scoresby].
