This name originates from Australia. It is part of the Australian Antarctic Gazetteer and the SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica.
Named after the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, formed of military units from Australian and New Zealand military units to participate in the First World War and in recognition of the camaraderie and military achievements of the many young Australians and New Zealanders who gave their lives in that conflict, including an early casualty at Gallipoli, Lieutenant Robert Bage, Royal Australian Engineers, who was a member of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition, conducted in this region between 1912 and 1914.
