Suiko Guyot is a massive, flat-topped underwater volcano, or guyot, located in the northern Pacific Ocean as part of the Emperor seamount chain. It was formed by volcanic activity over the Hawaiian hotspot millions of years ago, dating back to the Cretaceous period. The seamount is scientifically si...

Osbourn Guyot is a large, flat-topped submarine volcano located in the South Pacific Ocean. It is a prominent geological feature and the oldest known seamount within the Louisville seamount chain, formed by volcanic activity from the Louisville hotspot. As a guyot, its summit was once an above-water...

Colahan Guyot, also listed as Colahan Seamount, is an underwater volcanic landform in the northern Pacific Ocean and part of the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain. It belongs to the chain's guyot-type or flat-topped seamounts, which are submerged volcanic edifices shaped by erosion and later subsidenc...

Limalok Guyot is a flat-topped, Cretaceous-era seamount located in the Pacific Ocean within the Marshall Islands. The underwater mountain is scientifically notable for its large, drowned Eocene coral reefs that cap its summit. These geological features, along with its volcanic foundations, were exte...

Koko Guyot is a large, flat-topped underwater volcano located in the northern Pacific Ocean within the Emperor seamount chain. It is notable for the recovery of 48-million-year-old volcanic rock samples during scientific deep-sea drilling projects. These geological findings have provided researchers...

Wodejebato Guyot is a flat-topped submarine volcanic mountain in the central Pacific Ocean, within the Marshall Islands region. It formed as a volcanic island and later supported carbonate platforms and reefs before subsiding below sea level, while erosion and marine deposition helped produce its le...

A flat-topped submarine mountain located in the central Pacific Ocean, notable for its ancient Cretaceous volcanic origins and its role in the study of plate tectonics and marine geology.

Cobb Seamount is a prominent submarine volcano and guyot located in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of the northwestern United States. Formed during the Quaternary period, it features a remarkably shallow summit that approaches the ocean surface. This unique topography supports highly productive and...

Nintoku Seamount, also known as Nintoku Guyot, is a flat-topped submarine volcano in the Emperor Seamount chain of the North Pacific Ocean. Its eroded summit records a period when the volcano stood near sea level before subsidence carried it beneath the ocean. Geological and magnetic studies of Nint...

Afanasy-Nikitin Seamount is a submarine volcanic mountain in the Indian Ocean, named after the fifteenth-century Russian traveler Afanasy Nikitin. It is classified as a guyot because its summit is relatively flat, a form produced when a volcanic island or seamount is eroded near sea level and later...

Yuryaku Guyot is a flat-topped submarine volcano in the Emperor Seamount chain of the North Pacific Ocean. Like other guyots, it began as a volcanic island or seamount and acquired a relatively level summit through erosion before subsiding below sea level. Geological studies place its formation in t...

Stringer Guyot is an isolated, flat-topped seamount in the Pacific Ocean, recognized by oceanographers for its unique volcanic origins and its impact on deep-sea currents.

Daikakuji Guyot is a flat-topped seamount in the Pacific Ocean at the bend between the Emperor and Hawaiian volcanic chains. Geological studies place its formation at roughly 47 million years ago, during the Eocene, when the volcanic record of the Pacific plate records the change in direction repres...

Rim Guyot is a flat-topped underwater volcano located in the Pacific Ocean, notable as a submerged seamount studied by marine geologists for its unique volcanic formation.

Muir Seamount is a prominent underwater volcano located in the North Atlantic Ocean, notable for its significant geological features and unique deep-sea ecosystems.

Ōjin Guyot, also called Ōjin Seamount, is a flat-topped submarine volcano in the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain in the Pacific Ocean. The name refers to Emperor Ōjin of Japan, and geological references place its eruption at about 55 million years ago. As a guyot, it is relevant to marine geologists...

Josephine Guyot, also known as Josephine Seamount, is a submarine volcanic seamount on the Madeira-Tore Rise in the Northeast Atlantic. It rises from water deeper than 4,000 meters to a summit less than 200 meters below sea level. The summit supports dense beds of gorgonian corals and a species-rich...

Lo-En Guyot, also known as Hess, is a flat-topped seamount in the Marshall Islands of the western Pacific.
