The Sabrina Coast (English Sabrina Coast) is that part of the coast of Wilke country in Antarctica that lies between Cape Waldron at 115 ° 33 'E and Cape Southard at 122 ° 05 ' E. John Balleny has long been credited to have seen there in March 1839 at about 117 ° E Country. The United States Exploring Expedition under Lt. Charles Wilkes approached the coast in February 1840 and drew a coarse location with the name " Totten Highland " in Wilkes' map of 1840. 1931 sighted the British Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition under Douglas Mawson on this length of something that seemed to be the country; but there was a few degrees further south than the reported sightings of Balleny and Wilkes. In recognition of achievements Ballenys Mawson gave the piece of land the name of Sabrina, one of Ballenys ships, the end of March 1839 was lost at 95 ° E in a storm.
