It was discovered by the British National Antarctic Expedition, 1901–04, under Robert Falcon Scott, who named it after Sir Archibald Geikie, who gave much assistance in preparing the expedition; Geikie Glacier was also named for him.
It was first charted by the British Antarctic Expedition, 1898–1900, under Carsten Borchgrevink, who named the high land between these glaciers "Geikie Land", after Sir Archibald Geikie (for whom Geikie Glacier and Geikie Inlet were also named).
