Outer Lee Island ( Outer Lee Island ) is a small island off the north coast of South Georgia . In the Bay of Isles , it is 2.5 km north-northwest of Bellingshausen Point .
Robert Cushman Murphy mapped the island aboard the brig Daisy during his visit to South Georgia between 1912 and 1913 . Together with the island known today as Inner Lee Island , he summarized them as Lee Islands according to the prevailing wind conditions. Scientists from the British Discovery Investigations re-surveyed between 1929 and 1930 and gave both islands individual names based on Murphy's original name.
