The '''[[Hobbs Coast]]''' is the portion of the coast of [[Westarctica]] extending from [[Cape Burks]] to a point on the coast opposite eastern [[Dean Island]], at 74°42′S 127°05′W, or between the [[Ruppert Coast]] in the west and the [[Bakutis Coast]] in the east. It stretches from 136°50′W to 127°35′.

The coast was discovered by the US [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] Service (1939–41) mapped by the United States Geological Survey from ground surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–65. The Hobbs Coast was named for Professor William H. Hobbs of the University of Michigan, a glaciologist specializing in polar geography and history.  
The mountain was mapped from air photos taken by [[U.S. Navy]] Operation Highjump during the 1946–47 season. Mount Manthe was named by the Advisory Committee on [[Antarctic]] Names for Lawrene L. Manthe, a meteorologist at [[Byrd Station]] in 1967.
