**Storer Reef** ([54°22′S 37°4′W](https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?params=54_22_S_37_4_W)) is an isolated reef lying 3 nautical miles (6 km) southeast of [Aspasia Point](/source/Aspasia_Point) and 1.5 nautical miles (2.8 km) off the south coast of [South Georgia](/source/South_Georgia_Island). Named by the [United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee](/source/United_Kingdom_Antarctic_Place-Names_Committee) (UK-APC) following mapping by the SGS, 1951–52, for Captain [Nathaniel Storer](/source/Nathaniel_Storer) of [New Haven](/source/New_Haven), CT, who in 1801, built a small schooner on the coast of Patagonia, sailed her to South Georgia, and spent two seasons taking 45,000 fur seal skins.
