Mapped by Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) from surveys and air photos, 1948–59. Named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee (UK-APC) for Louis Rendu (1789–1859), French Bishop and scientist, author of Theorie des glaciers de la Savoie, an important book on the mechanism of glacier flow.[2]
Bauer Buttress is a projecting rock buttress on the northeast side of Mount Rendu. It was named by UK-APC following geological work by the British Antarctic Survey, 1980–81, after Albert Bauer, French engineer and glaciologist.[3]
