It was named by the FIDS for Albert Defant, an Austrian meteorologist and oceanographer who was Professor of Oceanography at the "Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität" and also Director of the "Institut and Museum für Meereskunde" in Berlin, Germany, from 1926 to 1945.

Harris built a sick bay at South Pole Station during U.S. Navy Operation Deep Freeze 1961.
The McLaughlin Cliffs are abrupt rock cliffs that overlook George VI Sound between Armstrong Glacier and Conchie Glacier, in western Palmer Land, Antarctica. They were named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Lieutenant Donald J. McLaughlin, Civil Engineer Corps, U.S. Navy Reserve, officer-in-charge of Palmer Station in 1970. The steep cliffs provide nesting sites for a colony of snow petrels.
