Mapped from air photos taken by Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) (1947–48) and Falkland Islands and Dependencies Aerial Survey Expedition (FIDASE) (1956–57). It was named by the United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Johannes O.C. Mügge (1858-1932), a German mineralogist who made pioneer studies of the plasticity of ice, in 1895.
