Participants in the Belgica expedition (1897-1899) of the Belgian polar explorer Adrien de Gerlache de Gomery carried out the first mapping. Another mapping was carried out in 1959 using aerial photographs by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd. from 1956 to 1957. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named the mountain on September 23, 1960 after the Egyptian doctor and builder Imhotep (≈ 2700 BC).
