The cliffs were photographed from the air by the United States Antarctic Service on 28 September 1940, and by the Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (trimetrogon air photography), 22 December 1947. They were surveyed by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey in December 1958
The name of the cliffs was given to them by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee after Calypso the daughter of Atlas, a goddess in Greek mythology.
