The Nodule Nunatak (from English nodule 'tuber' ) is a striking, isolated and 440 m high nunatak on the West Antarctic Joinville Island . It rises 5 km south of Mount Tholus in the southern part of the island.
The Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey carried out a geodetic survey between 1953 and 1954. The UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee descriptively named it for its appearance in 1956.
