Enderby Land is a projecting landmass of Antarctica. Its shore extends from Shinnan Glacier at about Шаблон:Coord to William Scoresby Bay at Шаблон:Coord, approximately Шаблон:Frac of the earth's longitude. It was first documented in western and eastern literature in February 1831 by John Biscoe aboard the whaling brig Tula, and named after the Enderby Brothers of London, the ship's owners who encouraged their captains to combine exploration with sealing.[1]

Nation state claims

Subject to the constraints of the Antarctic Treaty System, the longest-held nation-state claimant rights in the territory is Australia, being a large part of its claimed Australian Antarctic Territory up to various high latitudes towards the South Pole.

Features

Coastal features include Amundsen Bay, Casey Bay and Cape Monakov. Mountain ranges or sub-ranges being crests above pack ice (escarpments), are the Scott Mountains, the Tula Mountains, and the Napier Mountains. The highest peak is Mount Elkins at Шаблон:Convert Above Ordnance Datum (conventional sea level).
