Skinner Ridge is a mountain ridge in East Antarctic Victoria Land . It extends from the west side of the Eisenhower Range for around 20 km in a south-westerly direction. The northern part of the ridge includes Mount Fenton and Mount Mackintosh .
The formation was first explored by the southern group of a campaign carried out from 1962 to 1963 as part of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition , which they named after David Norman Bryant Skinner (* 1938), a geologist on the expedition.
