Martin Reef (67°34′S 65°31′E / 67.567°S 65.517°E) is a reef awash, lying 7 nautical miles (13 km) north of the coast and slightly west of Cape Fletcher. This reef was apparently encountered by Captain Carl Sjovold in the Norwegian whale catcher Bouvet III in January 1931, and by the British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) under Mawson in February 1931. Named by Mawson for the boatswain of the Discovery.
