It was charted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition under Gerlache, 1897–99, and was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1960 for Carl R. Hugershoff (1882–1941), a German geodesist who designed the autocartograph, an instrument which first applied the principles of photogrammetry to air photos, in about 1921.
