Norris Reef

Norris Reef (54°25′S 3°20′E) is a reef lying close off the western shore of the island of Bouvetøya, 0.5 nautical miles (0.9 km) southwest of Cape Circoncision. First charted in 1898 by a German expedition under carl Chun. Recharted in December 1927 by a Norwegian expedition under Captain Harald Horntvedt. Named by the Norwegians after British sealer Captain George Norris who, commanding the sealers Sprightly and Lively, visited Bouvetoya in 1825.
