The Princess Martha Coast, Norwegian Kronprinsesse Märtha Kyst, is that part of the coast of Queen Maud Land, which lies between 5 ° East and the tongue of the Stancomb - Wills Glacier (20 ° West ). The whole coastline is fringed by ice shelves; the ice cliffs reach heights 20-25 meters. The name " Crown Princess Martha Land" was originally applied to this part of the coast of Hjalmar Riiser -Larsen, who discovered the area of ​​the Norvegia and in February 1930 with the help of aerial photographs roughly mapped. The name honors Märtha of Sweden.

In the eastern part, 235 km inland, is the research station Troll.
