Supply Reef is a submerged circular reef of volcanic origin in the Northern Mariana Islands chain, about 10 kilometers northwest of the Maug Islands. This igneous seamount presently sits roughly 8 meters below the ocean's surface and is about 100 meters in diameter. Episodes of submarine volcanism were observed there in December 1989, along with volcanic and seismic activity and both hard and soft corals.
