It was mapped by survey work by the United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939–1941) and with the help of aerial photographs by the United States Navy between 1961 and 1967. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it after US Navy Lieutenant Ernest R. Fenton (* 1946), officer on duty at Palmer Station in 1971.
