This is a list of
Seamounts in the
Southern Ocean. A seamount is a mountain rising from the ocean
seafloor that does not reach to the water's surface (sea level), and thus is not an island,
islet or Cliff-rock. Seamounts are typically formed from
extinct volcanoes that rise abruptly and are usually found rising from the
seafloor to 1,000–4,000 m (3,300–13,100 ft) in height. They are defined by
oceanographers as independent features that rise to at least 1,000 m (3,281 ft) above the seafloor, characteristically of conical form.[1]
