Morrell Reef

Morrell Reef (54°27′S 3°29′E / 54.45°S 3.483°E / -54.45; 3.483) is a reef reported to lie close off the southeast coast of Bouvetøya, about 0.4 nautical miles (0.7 km) northward of Cape Fie. First charted in 1898 by a German expedition under Karl Chun. Recharted in December 1927 by a Norwegian expedition under Captain Harald Horntvedt. Named by the Norwegians after Captain Benjamin Morrell, American sealer who visited the northwest side of Bouvetoya in the Wasp in 1822, perhaps making the first landing on the island.
