It was probably first sighted by the Belgian Antarctic Expedition of 1897–99. It was charted by the French Antarctic Expedition of 1903–05 and was named by Jean-Baptiste Charcot for the Demaria brothers, French developers of an anastigmatic lens used by the expedition's photographic section.[1]

The first ascent was on 22 July 1979, and was completed by R. Ashley, R. Bowler, K. Bryne, D. Forsyth UK. The second ascent took place on 1 October 1979 by M. Brettle, A. Hawkins, J. Kerr, and J. Nutt.[2]
