Shaw Nunatak (69°33′S 71°12′W / 69.550°S 71.200°W / -69.550; -71.200) is a nunatak rising to 500 m in Nichols Snowfield, northern Alexander Island, Antarctica. Photographed from the air by Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition in 1947–48, and mapped from these photographs by D. Searle of Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, 1960. The nunatak was named by United Kingdom Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1977 after Colin Shaw (1944–78), British Antarctic Survey surveyor who worked in Alexander Island, from 1975 to 1976.
