Vlinder Guyot (also known as Alba Seamount) is a guyot in the Western Pacific Ocean. It rises to a depth of 1,500 metres (4,900 ft) and has a flat top covering an area of 40 by 50 kilometres (25 mi × 31 mi). On top of this flat top lie some volcanic cones, one of which rises to a depth of 551 metres (1,808 ft) below sea level.
The Magellan Seamounts extend from to . They include: Govorov Guyot [7. 7]; 121 ± 2.8 to 98.5 ± 1.4 Ma [7]; Ioah Seamount (also known as Ioah Guyot, Ioan Seamount or Fedorov Seamount) . 8]; 87 million years old [8]; Pako Guyot. 9]; 92 million years old [9] but volcanics have been now dated in range 112 to 86 Ma and < 20 Ma in smaller volcanoes on the guyot.

GEBCO is the only intergovernmental body with a mandate to map the whole ocean floor. At the beginning of the project, only 6 per cent of the world's ocean bottom had been surveyed to today's standards; as of June 2022, the project had recorded 23.4 per cent mapped. About 14,500,000 square kilometres (5,600,000 sq mi) of new bathymetric data ...
Bathymetric charts showcase depth using a series of lines and points at equal intervals, called depth contours or isobaths (a type of contour line). A closed shape with increasingly smaller shapes inside of it can indicate an ocean trench or a seamount, or underwater mountain, depending on whether the depths increase or decrease going inward.
