It is located just north of the small, central lake on the peninsula and extends northward down to Tuff Bluff.
It was named by the New Zealand Antarctic Place-Names Committee for Alexander Oswald Frame of Aberdeen, Scotland, a paleontology technician with the New Zealand Geological Survey and Victoria University of Wellington who discovered samples of significance (refer below) during an expedition to the area, 1964–65.
[1] 1): Alexander Oswald Frame as palaeontology technician of Victoria University (of Wellington New Zealand) expedition VUWAE 9 found glacial erratic boulders in moraines off Black Island/Brown Peninsula in the 1964/65 season in Antarctica.
Younger moraines are mostly similar in composition, but one important group contains distinctive erratics of the lava kenyite and of concretionary fossiliferous marine sediments thought to be Tertiary in age, and also contains fragments of locally derived marine sediments containing the fossil Zygochlamys.
