How to read the map. Darker blue is deeper water. Tap anywhere to see how deep the sea is there, or how high the land is, and the nearest named undersea feature. Depths come from the GEBCO_2026 grid, which in most of the deep ocean is predicted from satellite measurements of the sea surface rather than surveyed by ship, and the map’s tiles are coarser than the grid, so narrow trenches read shallower on the map than their true depth. Not for navigation.

How deep is the Ten'nōsei Seamount?

The grid figure is 1,179 m. We measured it as the depth of the shallowest cell within 10 km of its listed point, which is its summit. The cell is at 19.63° N, 135.97° E. The GEBCO_2026 grid has a value every 15 arc-seconds, about 460 m at the equator, so a very narrow feature can be a little deeper or shallower in reality than any grid cell shows.

Wikidata has no depth figure for this feature, so the grid is our only source for it.

About seamounts and guyots

A seamount is an underwater mountain, usually an extinct volcano. A guyot is a seamount with a flat top, worn flat by waves when it once stood at the surface.

This site lists 420 seamounts and guyots, 115 of them with their own indexed page. See all undersea features.
