Hauge Reef runs west-south-west to east-north-east for three and a half miles, between Annenkov Island and Cape Darnley on the south coast of South Georgia.

The reef was charted by the Russian Antarctic Expedition in 1819. It was included with Annenkov Island and off-lying rocks and reefs under the names 'South Mary's Islands', a name used by the early sealers. It was surveyed by the South Georgia Survey in 1951-52, and named 'Hauge Reef' after Captain Ole Hauge, of the sealer Albatros who assisted the Survey with his knowledge of the coasts of South Georgia.
