The Skallebreen (Norwegian for skull glacier ) is a glacier on the Prince Harald Coast of Queen Maud Land in East Antarctica . It flows east of the Skallen group of hills into the Lützow-Holm-Bucht .
Aerial photographs and measurements of a Japanese Antarctic expedition that lasted from 1957 to 1962 were used to map it. The glacier got its name from the naming of the neighboring group of hills.
