The United States Geological Survey mapped it using tellurometer measurements and aerial photographs from the United States Navy between 1960 and 1962. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1966 after the US geologist Charles Henry Summerson (1914–2008), who worked in the Mount Weaver region from 1962 to 1963 as part of the United States Antarctic Research Program .
