Exploration and naming
The Robinson Heights were mapped by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) from surveys and United States Navy photography, 1960–63. They were named by the United States Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names (US-ACAN) for Edwin S. Robinson, a United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) geophysicist at McMurdo Sound in 1960. He participated in a number of geophysical traverses, including his leadership of the South Pole Station Traverse, 1962–63.

The Robinson Heights are in the Admiraly Mountains to the south of the Anare Pass, which lies between the Ebbe Glacier and the Dennistoun Glacier to the south of the Anare Mountains. The Ebbe Glacier flow past its southwest side, separating it from the Homerun Range. The Lyttelton Range is to the southeast and the Dunedin Range to the east. Features of the Robinson Heights include Mount Schaefer and Mount Frishman.
