The mountain was surveyed in December 1912 by a science party from [[Robert Falcon Scott]]'s [[Terra Nova Expedition|''Terra Nova'' expedition]], who also collected geological samples. Two of the camp sites they used have been recognised for their historic significance:
* Upper “Summit Camp” site (HSM 89) consists of part of a circle of rocks, which were probably used to weight the tent valances.
* Lower “Camp E” site (HSM 90) consists of a slightly elevated area of gravel, as well as some aligned rocks, which may have been used to weight the tent valances.

They have been designated [[Historic Sites and Monuments in Antarctica|historic sites or monuments]] following a proposal by the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and the United States to the [[Antarctic Treaty System|Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting]].<ref name=atcm>{{cite web |url= http://www.ats.aq/documents/ATCM36/WW/atcm36_ww004_e.pdf|title= List of Historic Sites and Monuments approved by the ATCM (2013)|access-date=2014-01-09 |publisher=Antarctic Treaty Secretariat |year=2013}}</ref>
