The glacier was mapped by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey from photos taken by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd in 1956–57, and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 for brothers Joseph-Michel and Jacques-Étienne Montgolfier, French papermakers, inventors of the hot air balloon in 1782–83, and pioneer balloonists.
