The formation was first measured in 1936 during the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937) under the direction of the Australian polar explorer John Rymill . The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey carried out a new survey between 1948 and 1949. It is named after William Harvie Thomson (1922–2012), a pilot on the Survey station on Stonington Island in 1947.
