Skynd is a crater on the surface of Uranus' moon Umbriel.[1] It is estimated to be between 72[2] and 110 km[1] in diameter. Its center is located at Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found..[2]
Skynd has a bright central or near central peak,[1] which is one of the few bright albedo features on Umbriel that really stands out against Umbriel's low albedo.
The crater is named after Skynd, a troll who stole three wives of a man living in Englerup.[2]
