The Australian geodesist and cartographer Robert George Dovers (1921-1981), after whom the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia (ANCA) named the ridge, sighted it in 1954 together with a team of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions starting from the Stinear Nunatakkern . A team led by the Australian polar explorer John Mayston Béchervaise (1910-1998) mapped him in December 1955.
