The Nemo Cove is a bay in the middle of the east coast of the West Antarctic Graham Land west upstream Pourquoi Pas Island .
A first survey was made in 1936 by participants in the British Graham Land Expedition (1934–1937) under the direction of the Australian polar explorer John Rymill . Another survey by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (FIDS) followed in 1948 . The latter named the bay to Captain Nemo , one of the main characters from the novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne .
