It was photographed from the air by the U.S. Navy, 1967, and surveyed by the British Antarctic Survey, 1968–71. In association with the names of geologists grouped in this area, it was named in 1971 by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Sir Henry Thomas de la Beche, English geologist, first Director-General of the Geological Survey of Great Britain (later the Institute of Geological Sciences), 1835–55.
