It was discovered and plotted from air photos by the Third German Antarctic Expedition in 1938–39, and was mapped from air photos and surveys by the Sixth Norwegian Antarctic Expedition, 1956–60. The mountain was remapped by the Soviet Antarctic Expedition in 1960–61, and named after K.N. Mirotvortsev (1880–1950), a Soviet geographer and explorer.[1]
