The glacier was first photographed from the air during a flight up it in 1937 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE). Its mouth was surveyed in 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey and later named for Wilfred E. Hampton of the BGLE, who piloted the airplane that made the above mentioned flight.
