They were discovered in January 1930 by the British Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition under Mawson, who named them "Gould Nunatak" in the singular, after Lieutenant Commander , Royal Navy, of the Hydrographic Department of the Admiralty, who worked on the British Admiralty South Polar Chart. They were plotted as a group by Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions from air photos in 1964, and so renamed in the plural.^[1]
