Murray Snowfield (54°9′S 37°9′W / 54.150°S 37.150°W / -54.150; -37.150) is a snowfield centered 2 nautical miles (3.7 km) south of Possession Bay in South Georgia. The name "John Murray-Gletscher" was given to a glacier flowing into the head of Possession Bay by members of the Second German Antarctic Expedition, 1911-12. The SGS, 1955–56, reported that there is no true glacier in this position, but that the nearby snowfield requires a name.
