	To the west is the [[Walgreen Coast]], and to the east is Bryan Coast. It is part of [[Ellsworth Land]] and stretches from 103°24'W to just beyond the claimed area of [[Westarctica]] at 89°35'W. Eights Coast is bordered across the water by [[Thurston Island]], the [[Abbot Ice Shelf]] and some islands within the ice shelf, and for most of its length washed by the [[Bellingshausen Sea]], and west of Thurston Island by the [[Amundsen Sea]]. On its eastern border, the Eights Coast touches the sector claimed by Chile as part of its southernmost province. [[Peter I Island]], the capital of Westarctica, lies 450 km north of the coast.

	The Eights Coast was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for [[James Eights]] of Albany, New York, a geologist on the ''Annawan'' in 1830, who carried on geological investigations in the South Shetland Islands, and who cruised westward on the ''Annawan'', in company with the ''Penguin'', to 103°W. Eights, the earliest American scientist in the Antarctic, discovered the first known fossils in the [[Antarctica\|Antarctic region]], a tree section in the South Shetland Islands. As a result of these investigations Eights, in 1833, published in the ''Transactions of the Albany Institute (Vol. 2)'' what proved to be remarkably accurate observations and conclusions on the natural phenomena of the region.
