It was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee, following a survey by the South Georgia Survey, 1951–52, for Le Sieur Ducloz Guyot, a passenger in the Spanish vessel León, which sighted South Georgia in 1756.
On 23 February 1961, Carse was dropped off by HMS Owen with 12 tonnes of supplies, and a prefabricated hut.
He was revisited in April, but it was on 20 May that a freak wave washed him, his hut and his supplies into the sea.
He managed to survive the Southern Winter for another 116 days, when he was rescued by a sealing ship.
