It was discovered and first surveyed in 1936 by A. Stephenson, W.L.S. Fleming and Colin Bertram of the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under John Rymill, and named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1954 for Bertram, a biologist of the BGLE, 1934–37, and a member of the discovery party, who in 1949 became Director of the Scott Polar Research Institute, Cambridge.
