Scientists from the United States Antarctic Service Expedition (1939–1941) mapped it.

The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named him 1970 after Sumner Raymond Dolber (1924-2015) of the United States Coast Guard , captain of the icebreaker USCGC Southwind , which belonged to the US squadron for exploring the Antarctic Peninsula from 1967 to 1968 and to that squadron for exploring the Ross Sea from 1968 to 1969 .
