Britische Wissenschaftler kartierten sie zuletzt im Jahr 2009. Die bulgarische Kommission für Antarktische Geographische Namen benannte sie im April 2021 nach dem iranischen Gelehrten al-Bīrūnī (973–1048), dem Begründer der Triangulation in der Geodäsie. (de)

The feature is named after Abu Rayhan Biruni (973-1048), an Iranian scholar who proposed the use of triangulation to measure distances and position places; in association with other names in the area deriving from the early development or use of geodetic instruments and methods.
