Surveys and aerial photographs of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) were used for its mapping. Scientists in this research series visited the massif for the first time in 1969. The Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) named it after John Manning (* 1937), who led ANARE teams to survey the Prince Charles Mountains in 1969, 1970 and 1972.
