Box Reef (Lua error in Module:Coordinates at line 489: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value).) is a line of drying rocks lying between Esplin Islands and League Rock, off the south end of Adelaide Island. The name, given by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1963 in association with nearby Cox Reef, derives from Box and Cox, the well-known English literary allusion to two individuals who occupied the same lodgings alternately day and night without knowledge of each other.
