Mount Murphy was delineated from aerial photographs taken by [[U.S. Navy]] Operation Highjump in January 1947. Named by US-ACAN for Robert Cushman Murphy of the American Museum of Natural History, noted authority on [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] and sub-Antarctic bird life. While serving on a [[whaling]] ship, he charted the Bay of Isles region of South Georgia. During a 1968 biological survey of [[Marie Byrd Land]], Mount Murphy was one of the few locations where [[snow petrel]]s were discovered. In addition to the petrels, the survey team also found algae.
