The feature was shown on an Argentine government chart in 1953, but not named. Photographed by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd in 1956–57, and mapped from these photos in 1959. Named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Ambroise Paré (1510–1590), French surgeon who first taught the importance of clean wound dressings, improved operative techniques and fracture treatment.
