Musician Seamounts

In 2015, the Okeanos Explorer discovered this unnamed 2,865-meter-high seamount (red colors in this mapping data show the peak of the seamount, located 562 meters below the ocean surface). Multibeam mapping activities are occurring again in this region, dubbed “Musician Seamounts”. Image courtesy of the NOAA Office of Exploration and Research (NOAA OER).
