The nunataks were surveyed by the United States [[Antarctic]] Research Program Horlick Mountains Traverse party in December 1958. The Bennett Nunataks were named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for John B. Bennett, a geomagnetist-seismologist at [[Byrd Station]] in 1960.

Endurance was the three-masted barquentine in which Sir Ernest Shackleton sailed for Antarctica on the 1914 Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. She was launched in 1912 from Sandefjord in Norway and was crushed by ice, causing her to sink three years later in the Weddell Sea off Antarctica.

The name "Endurance" has been assigned to Westarctica's training simulator, WS Endurance which is used by the Naval Detachment of the Westarctican Royal Guards to simulate space warfare with the militaries of allied micronations.
