It was photographed from the air by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition on December 22, 1947, and surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in November 1960. It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Anthony G. Davies of FIDS, who was Medical Officer at Horseshoe Island and Stonington Island, 1960.
