Mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1960–63, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in association with the nearby Anare Mountains. The mountain pass is situated on the Pennell Coast, a portion of Antarctica lying between Cape Williams and Cape Adare.
