'''Nichols Snowfield''' ({{coord|69|25|S|71|5|W|display=inline,title}}) is a snowfield, 22 nautical miles (41 km) long and 8 nautical miles (15 km) wide, bounded by the [[Rouen Mountains]] and [[Elgar Uplands]] to the east and [[Lassus Mountains]] to the west, in the north part of [[Alexander Island]], [[Antarctica]]. The snowfield was first sighted from the air and roughly mapped by the [[British Graham Land Expedition]] (BGLE) in 1937. Mapped in detail from air photos taken by the [[Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition]] (RARE), 1947–48, by Searle of the [[Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey]] (FIDS) in 1960. It is named by the RARE for Dr. [[Robert L. Nichols]], head of the Department of Geology, [[Tufts University]], and senior scientist of the Ronne expedition.
