First surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill, it was resurveyed in 1946 and 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS). It is named for Eric W.K. Walton, FIDS engineer at Stonington Island in 1946 and 1947, who in 1946 rescued J.E. Tonkin of FIDS from a crevasse in Northeast Glacier.
