It was plotted by United States Geological Survey (USGS) from aerial photographs obtained by U.S. Navy Squadron VXE-6 in a November 5, 1967 reconnaissance flight over this coast. Named by Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Lieutenant (j.g.) Frank M. Durrance, Jr., U.S. Navy Reserve, navigator on that flight.
