ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The shell of an adult nautilus contains over 30 chambers. These chambers form as the nautilus grows, into a shape called a logarithmic spiral. The chambers are ballast tanks that help the nautilus maintain buoyancy. The nautilus's soft body is located in the largest, outermost chamber. The other chambers are filled with gas. A duct called the siphuncle connects the chambers. When needed, the nautilus can flood the chambers with water to make itself sink. This water enters the mantle cavity and is expelled through a siphon. These chambers inspired the design of Jules Verne's submarine Nautilus in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and the logarithmic spiral cam in Nautilus exercise machines. The first nuclear submarine was called the U.S.S. Nautilus.
