The Skidoo nunatak is a 935 m high nunatak on the Nordenskjöld coast of Graham Land on the Antarctic Peninsula . At the base of the Sobral Peninsula, it rises 2.1 km south-southeast of the Nodwell Peaks .
The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) carried out geological work here between 1978 and 1979. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1984 after the Skidoo , a snowmobile from the Canadian manufacturer Bombardier that the BAS had been using in Antarctica since 1976.
