Many hours later, the expedition finished its marathon beneath the seamount.

Rather, it was a seamount, a volcanic upthrusting of rock from the ocean floor.

In the open ocean a swell doesn't break the way it does on a reef or a seamount.

However, annual variations in abundance and CH4 production were observed in relation to the eruption cycle of the seamount.

Barnes says one of the cores was drilled from the top of a seamount - an extinct underwater volcano.

In the third week of August, they passed through the rise between the roots of a nameless seamount, an ocean-floor volcano.

The seamount itself sat a mile overhead, serviced by these ganglia reaching deep into the mantle for supplies of live magma.

Or it could be a previously unknown species that lives on an unexplored seamount to the west of New Zealand, Francis says.

The 'Bubblegum coral' is found in the continental shelf region both on slope margins, ridges and seamount features, in depths around 800-1000 metres.

Located off Seamount Road, there are are two types of house for sale.

The most recent one put Seamount second in Connacht and in 20th place in Ireland.

The bottom of the ocean is covered in volcanoes, whether it be seamounts or the mid-ocean ridge system.

It said New Zealand's major deepwater fisheries occur on seamounts for a number of fish species, including orange roughy.

It's calling for the government to ban the destructive practice on seamounts, or submarine mountains, and other ecologically sensitive areas.

The accusation has been levelled by Seamount College's board of management, which was informed of the move late last week.
