Probably first seen in 1909 by the FrAE under Charcot, but not recognized as part of the Douglas Range. First surveyed in 1936 by Stephenson, Fleming, and Bertram of the BGLE under Rymill. The E side of the mountain was resurveyed in 1948 by the FIDS who named the feature for Alfred Stephenson, surveyor and leader of the BGLE party to George VI Sound in 1936.
