The Skeidsnutane are a mountain range in Queen Maud Land, East Antarctica . In the Alexander von Humboldt Mountains of the Wohlthat massif , they extend from the Skarshaugane in a southerly direction over a distance of 10 km.
They were discovered and photographed from the air during the German Antarctic Expedition in 1938/39 under the direction of polar explorer Alfred Ritscher . Norwegian cartographers, who also made the naming, mapped it on the basis of surveys and aerial photographs of the Third Norwegian Antarctic Expedition (1956–1960).
