Etar Snowfield ({{lang-bg|Ледник Етър}} \\'led-nik 'e-t&r\\, Lednik Etar) is a roughly crescent-shaped snowfield on western Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica situated west of Urdoviza, Medven and Berkovitsa Glaciers, northwest of Verila Glacier, east of Ivanov Beach and south of Gerlovo Beach. It drains the west slopes of Oryahovo Heights and the north slopes of Rotch Dome, and flows into Barclay Bay between Mercury Bluff and Rowe Point. The feature extends {{convert|5|km|0|abbr=on}} inland, and {{convert|15|km|0|abbr=on}} in south-southwest to north-northeast direction. The glacier was named after the settlement of Etar in the central Balkan Mountains, Bulgaria. LocationThe snowfield is centred at {{coord|62|34|07|S|60|46|27|W|display=inline,title|}}.

In fiction- The snowfield contributes to the mise-en-scène of the 2016 Antarctica thriller novel The Killing Ship authored by Elizabeth Cruwys and Beau Riffenburgh (under their joint alias Simon Beaufort), with action spreading from Hannah Point to Byers Peninsula via Ivanov Beach, skirting Verila Glacier and Etar Snowfield in the process.[1][2]
