It was delineated from air photos taken by U.S. Navy Operation Highjump in 1946–47, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for William H. Morse, purser's steward on the brig {{USS|Porpoise|1836|2}} of the United States Exploring Expedition (1838–42) under Charles Wilkes. Located about 3 miles southwest of Cape Morse, Morse Glacier ({{Coord|66|21|S|130|5|E|}}) is a channel glacier flowing to the east side of Porpoise Bay. It was also mapped from the air photos taken by Operation Highjump. Due to an inadvertent error, the names of these locations were incorrectly spelled "Cape Mose" and "Mose Glacier" for a number of years.
