The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on tellurometer surveys from 1961 to 1962 and aerial photographs by the United States Navy from 1960. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1966 after Wilhelm Fredrik Bondeson (1907–1997), captain of the USNS Private John R. Towle during Operation Deep Freeze in 1964 and 1965.
