First surveyed in 1936 by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill. Resurveyed in 1948 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) who named it after the submarine Nautilus in Jules Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea. Other features on Pourquoi Pas Island are named for characters in this book.
