The Borchgrevink Coast is a portion of the Victoria Land coastline between Cape Adare and Cape Washington. The name was recommended by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1961 after Carsten Borchgrevink, a member of Henrik Johan Bull's expedition to this area, 1894–95, and leader of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1898–1900, the first to winter on the continent, at Cape Adare. Borchgrevink Coast is situated 7 km north of Borchgrevink Glacier.
