Norwegian cartographers mapped it using aerial photographs taken during the Lars Christensen Expedition in 1936/37 . Australian cartographers refined this mapping using aerial photographs taken by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions in 1956. The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) named it after Stephen William Grimsley, a technician who studied the ionosphere at Mawson Station in 1961.
