It was discovered on the [[Byrd Antarctic Expedition]] (1928–30) (ByrdAE) flight along this coast on December 5, 1929, and named for [[Michael J. Brennan]], who was advisory on the ByrdAE in the selection of personnel, and skipper of the ''Chantier'' on the trip to the Arctic when [[Richard E. Byrd]] flew over the [[North Pole]].<ref name="gna">{{cite web|url=http://www.scribd.com/doc/36721395/Gna-GeographicNamesOfTheAntarctic1stEdition1981-djvu|title=Gna-GeographicNamesOfTheAntarctic1stEdition1981_djvu|page=287|accessdate=September 2, 2011}}</ref>
