List of seamounts in the Southern Ocean explained

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 1000m-4000mm (3,000feet-13,000feetm) in height. They are defined by oceanographers as independent features that rise to at least 10000NaN0 above the seafloor, characteristically of conical form.^[1]
