The Enceladus Nunatakkers are a group of eight scattered Nunatakkers in the south of the West Antarctic Alexander I Island . They are spread over a large area at the head end of the mouth of the Saturn Glacier .
Trimetrogon recordings by the American Ronne Antarctic Research Expedition (1947-1948) and measurements made by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey between 1948 and 1950 were used to map them. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee named it in 1974 based on the naming of the Saturn glacier after the Saturn moon Enceladus .
