W coast of Graham Land from Cape Bellue to Cape Renard, was discovered by Biscoe, 17-18 February 1832, roughly charted and annexed for King William IV, 21 February 1832, and named Graham's Land after Sir James Graham (Graham Land, q.v.). The following names apply more or less to the feature as now defined. Much inland detail of this coast between Deloncle Bay and Beascochea Bay was roughly mapped by the French Antarctic Expedition, 1908-10, in 1909. The coast was surveyed by the British Graham Land Expedition, August-September 1935. The coast was photographed from the air by the Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition, 1956-57.
