This topographical feature was first mapped by the United States Geological Survey from surveys and U.S. Navy aerial photographs, 1960–63. Mount Granholm was so named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Dr. Nels H. Granholm, a United States Antarctic Research Program biologist at Hallett Station during 1967–68.[1]

While in Antarctica, Dr. Granholm studied growth centers in the Adélie penguin embryo. A large Adélie colony continues to live on the Hallett Peninsula. Hallet Station, however, has been decommissioned.
