Rongel Reef (Template:Langx 'rif ron-'zhel), is a moraine reef in the Emona Anchorage in the eastern parts of Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. The reef emerged during a glacier retreat in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
The reef extends over Script error: No such module "convert". in northeast–southwest direction and is partly exposed at low tide and submerged at high tide but for the islet rising to near Script error: No such module "convert". at its northeast extremity.
Its midpoint is located Script error: No such module "convert". north-northwest of Hespérides Point, Script error: No such module "convert". west of Aleko Point, and Script error: No such module "convert". northeast by east of Ereby Point. The northeast extremity of Rongel Reef is located Script error: No such module "convert". south-southwest of Rongel Point. A Script error: No such module "convert". wide nameless cove is indenting for Script error: No such module "convert". the coast behind Rongel Reef, the northeast side of its entrance formed by Rongel Point. The southwest extremity of Rongel Reef is located Script error: No such module "convert". southeast of the nameless point located Script error: No such module "convert". northwest by north of Hespérides Point and Script error: No such module "convert". northeast by east of Ereby Point.
The feature is named after the Brazilian Navy ship Ary Rongel, in recognition of her logistic support for the Bulgarian Antarctic programme.
