It was mapped by the Holyoake, Cobham and Queen Elizabeth Ranges party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (1964-1965), and named for Lieutenant Dennis A. Olson, U.S. Navy, who flew the New Zealand party to the névé and supported it during the summer season. The feature is incorrectly identified as "Olsen Névé" on some maps of the late 1960s.
