Halfmoon Bluff
Halfmoon Bluff () is a rock bluff overlooking the east side of Shackleton Glacier, rising immediately north of the mouth of Brunner Glacier, in the Cumulus Hills of Antarctica. It was so named by the Texas Tech Shackleton Glacier Expedition (1964–65) because its sheer cliffs and crescent shaped top give it the appearance of a half moon.
Halfmoon Bay (Stewart Island)
Halfmoon Bay lies on the eastern coast of Stewart Island/Rakiura in New Zealand.
The town of Oban lies in the bay. A small fishing fleet and a ferry service from Bluff use the bay.

Halfmoon Bay and its neighbour Horseshoe Bay are the subject of a name mix-up, caused by early cartographers. Halfmoon Bay is in fact shaped more like a horseshoe
