**Elemag Reef** (Rif Elemag \'rif 'e-le-mag\) is the 100 m long in southeast-northwest direction and 40 m wide [moraine](/source/Moraine) [reef](/source/Reef) in [Moon Bay](/source/Moon_Bay), [Livingston Island](/source/Livingston_Island) in the [South Shetland Islands](/source/South_Shetland_Islands), with a narrow [shoal](/source/Shoal) extending for over 400 m eastwards. Surface area 0.33 ha. Situated 5.4 km south-southwest of [Edinburgh Hill](/source/Edinburgh_Hill), 5.95 km west of [Half Moon Island](/source/Half_Moon_Island), 5.18 km northwest of [Rila Point](/source/Rila_Point), 3.3 km northeast of [Zlatograd Rock](/source/Zlatograd_Rock) and 1.85 km east-southeast of [Sindel Point](/source/Sindel_Point). Formed at the [terminus](/source/Glacier_terminus) of merging [Struma](/source/Struma_Glacier) and [Huron Glaciers](/source/Huron_Glacier), it was originally named *Elemag Point*.
