Participants in the Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1901–1903) under the direction of Otto Nordenskjöld carried out the first measurements. The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) re-mapped them in 1948 and 1952. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named them in 1957 after Brian Jefford (1922-1994), FIDS geodesist in Hope Bay in 1948 in Admiralty Bay the following year.
