The
Bakutis Coast is that part of the coast of
Marie Byrd Land,
West Antarctica, extending from a point opposite eastern
Dean Island, at , to
Cape Herlacher, or between
Hobbs Coast in the west and
Walgreen Coast in the east. It stretches between 127°05'W and 114°12'W. The coast in this area is bounded by several large ice-covered islands and the very extensive
Getz Ice Shelf. This coast was sighted by members of the
US Antarctic Service, 1939-41, and was charted in part from air photos taken by
Operation Highjump, 1946-47, both expeditions led by Admiral
Richard E. Byrd. The
United States Geological Survey completely mapped the coast from ground surveys and
U.S. Navy air photos, 1959-66.
