Discovered by the South Magnetic Pole Party, led by David, of the BAE, 1907-09. They followed its course on their way to the plateau beyond, and called it Larsen Glacier because it flowed south-east from Mt Larsen. The mountain was named for Captain Carl Anton Larsen, whose explorations on the east coast of Graham Land marked the beginning of commercial whaling operations in the Antarctic.
