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.{{cite web|url= http://www.geographic.org/geographic_names/antname.php?uni=10823&fid=antgeo_117|title= Norris Reef: Antarctica |publisher = Geographic Names|accessdate= October 1, 2016}}{{cite web|url= http://www.uni-leipzig.de/unigeschichte/professorenkatalog/leipzig/Chun_770/|title= Prof. Dr. phil., Dr. med. h. c.
