The mountain was discovered by Lincoln Ellsworth in his trans-Antarctic flight on November 23, 1935, who called it "Mount Mary Louise Ulmer", after his wife. The peak was reidentified by comparing Ellsworth's photograph with those taken in 1959 by the U.S. Navy.[2]
The peak of the mountain rises to a total of 3,800 meters.[3]
