The Latady Mountains were seen from the air by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (RARE) on 21 November 1947, and partially surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey and RARE from Stonington Island in December 1947. They were photographed from the air by the U.S. Navy, 1965–67, and mapped from air photographs by the United States Geological Survey. They were named by RARE for William R. Latady, an aerial photographer with the expedition.[1][2]
