Description (see definition): That portion of the E coast of Antarctic Peninsula between Cape Boggs and Cape Mackintosh. This coast was discovered and photographed from the air by members of the East Base of the U.S. Antarctic Service, 1939-41, on a flight of Dec. 30, 1940. The most southerly point reached was Wright Inlet in 74S, but features as far S as Bowman Peninsula are identifiable in the aerial photographs taken on the flight. Named after Commander (later Admiral) Richard B. Black, U.S. Navy Reserve (USNR) (1902-92), leader of the Dec. 30 flight and commanding officer of the East Base.
