The first aerial photographs were taken during the German Antarctic Expedition (1938–1939). Norwegian cartographers mapped the glacier using aerial photographs taken by the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE, 1949–1952) and the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960). It is named after the Norwegian Egil Rogstad (1908–1987), chief radio operator of the NBSAE.
