Participants in the Fifth French Antarctic Expedition (1908–1910) of polar explorer Jean-Baptiste Charcot first mapped it in 1909. The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) carried out a new survey in 1948 and later named it after William Stuart Bodys (* 1921), FIDS mechanic for its Noorduyn Norseman aircraft in 1950.
