A French expedition under Capt. Jules Dumont d'Urville, 1837–40, originally gave the name Huon to a cape in this area after Felix Huon de Kermadec, a member of the expedition. A survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) in 1946 did not identify the cape but applied the name to this bay which lies in the same area.[1]

Features and nearby features include, from northeast to southwest,
63°19′S57°54′W / 63.317°S 57.900°W / -63.317; -57.900. Cape at the northeast side of the entrance to Huon Bay, terminating in the Schmidt Peninsula. Discovered by a French expedition under Captain Jules Dumont d'Urville, 1837-40, and named for artist Ernest Goupil, who died on the expedition. The incorrect form Legoupil has been used so extensively that in this special case it is accepted.[3]
