The glacier 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, it was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Edward Jenner, an English physician who was a pioneer of preventive medicine, and who instituted the use of cowpox vaccine in smallpox vaccination.[1]
