It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from U.S. Navy aerial photographs, 1966–69, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names after Peter T. Marquis, a general assistant with the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), and a member of the joint BAS–USGS party to this area, 1986–87.
