The Skelton Icefalls are a prominent glacial break in East Antarctica Victoria Land . They arcuate over a length of around 25 km from Portal Mountain to the north end of the Warren Range . Angino Buttress Mountain looms near the center of the Skelton Icefalls.
The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named them in 1964 in connection with the Skelton Firnfield and the Skelton Glacier after Reginald Skelton (1872-1965), chief engineer on the British Discovery Expedition (1901-1904).
