Skolteneset (Scull Cape) is a headland of Sørkappøya, Svalbard. It has a length of about one kilometer and is the northernmost point of the island.[1] It marks the southern entry of the large bay Sommerfeldtbukta.[2] The headland is named from the discovery of human skulls at the site during an expedition in 1920.[1]
