The Skew Peak (English for sloping peak ) is a 2535 m high mountain in East Antarctic Victoria Land . In the Clare Range it rises immediately to the west of the head end of the Frazier Glacier .
Participants of the northern survey team of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1955-1958) named it in 1957 because the summit of the mountain appears remarkably asymmetrical from all directions.
