The Skana massif is a pretty high, but rounded mountain massif between Kukkesvagge-Lietjitjaure and Akkajaure in northern Sarek. The highest peak is Skanatjåkkå (1767 m). In the northern part the massif is crossed by the valley Vuoskelvagge. The Skana massif contains 3 glaciers.

Alep Skanajekna (0.13 km2) is a small ice cap (or dead ice) on the south slope of Skanatjåkkå. It is not plotted on the mountain map.
Lulep Skanajekna (0.94 km2) is a fairly large ice cap on the southeast slope of Skanatjåkkå. It ends in a small lake and has large (presumably ice-cored) terminal moraines.
Kiebnatj-jekna (0.11 km2) is a small cirque glacier in the deep cirque Kiebnatjkåppe on the north side of Skanatjåkkå. Neither this glacier is plotted on the mountain map.
