Outer Lee Island

Outer Lee Island (54°2′S 37°14′W / 54.033°S 37.233°W / -54.033; -37.233Coordinates: 54°2′S 37°14′W / 54.033°S 37.233°W / -54.033; -37.233) is a small island 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) north-northwest of Bellingshausen Point, lying in the outer part of the Bay of Isles, South Georgia. This island was charted in 1912-13 by Robert Cushman Murphy, American naturalist aboard the brig Daisy, who included it as one of two islands which he called the Lee Islands. These islands were recharted in 1929-30 by DI personnel, who renamed this northeastern of the two, Outer Lee Island. The southwestern island is now known as Inner Lee Island.
