Pourquoi Pas Island (67°41′S 67°28′W) is a mountainous island, 17 miles (27 km) long and from 5 to 11 miles (18 km) wide, lying between Bigourdan Fjord and Bourgeois Fjord off the west coast of Graham Land. It was discovered by the French Antarctic Expedition under Charcot, 1908-10. The island was charted more accurately by the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) under Rymill, 1934-37, who named it for Charcot's expedition ship, the Pourquoi-Pas?.
