The Skamni Saddle (English; Bulgarian седловина Скамни sedlowina Skamni ) is a 1.3 km long, 1750 m high and icy mountain saddle in the west Antarctic Ellsworthland . In the northern Sentinel Range of the Ellsworth Mountains it is 4.6 km northwest of Mount Ulmer , 13 km east to south of the northern end of the main ridge of the Sentinel Range and 12 km southwest of the Kipra Gap between Mount Wyatt Earp in the northwest and the Mud Ridge in the Gromshin Heights in the southeast.
American scientists mapped it in 1961. The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2014 after a headland on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast .
