Baktriana Reef (Bulgarian: риф Бактриана, romanized: rif Baktriana, IPA: [ˈrif bɐktriˈanɐ]) is the 360 m long in east-west direction and 40 m wide flat and rocky low-tide elevation off the west coast of Snow Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. Its surface area is 0.33 ha. The vicinity was visited by early 19th century sealers.
The feature is so named because of its shape supposedly resembling the two humps of a Bactrian camel (‘baktriana’ in Bulgarian).
