In the Bay of Isles , the bay is bounded by the islands of Crescent Island , Invisible Island , the Hogs Mouth Rocks and Albatross Island , which are arranged in a semicircle .

The American ornithologist Robert Cushman Murphy was the first to map them during his visit to South Georgia (1912–1913) on board the brig Daisy .
