Rickmers Glacier is a glacier on the west coast of Graham Land, Antarctica, flowing into Hugi Glacier just northwest of Ezerets Knoll. It was photographed by Hunting Aerosurveys Ltd. in 1955-57 and mapped from those photographs by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey. It was named in 1959 for Willi Rickmer Rickmers, a German pioneer of skiing and joint author of the first English-language skiing manual, who also improved the design of ice axes and introduced the pick shape still used today.
