[[Ernest Shackleton]]'s [[Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition]] reported a [[glacier]] in this vicinity in January 1915. It was named "Allan McDonald Glacier" after [[Allan McDonald (shipowner)|Allan McDonald]] of the [[British Association]] of [[Magallanes y la Antártica Chilena Region|Magallanes]] at [[Punta Arenas]], who was chiefly responsible for raising funds for sending the schooner ''Emma'' on the third attempt, in July 1916, to rescue the 22 men of the ''[[Endurance (1912 ship)|Endurance]]'' left on [[Elephant Island]].

The [[Royal Society]] [[International Geophysical Year]] expeditions occupied [[Halley Research Station]] nearby (1955–59) and were familiar with this feature, reporting in 1957 that the maximum elevation above the general surface of the [[ice shelf]], a few hundred metres from the ice front, was about {{Convert|18|m|-1}}. It has now been identified with "Allan McDonald Glacier" and, for the sake of historical continuity, the [[UK Antarctic Place-names Committee]] has given the name McDonald to these ice rumples.<ref name=gnis/>
