The first aerial photographs were taken during the German Antarctic Expedition (1938–1939). Norwegian cartographers mapped it on the basis of aerial photographs and surveys of the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE, 1949–1952) and aerial photographs of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960). They named him after John Edvard Snarby (1922–1991) from Tromsø , Norwegian chef at the NBSAE.
