Vaughan Seamount

Vaughan Seamount is an underwater volcanic mountain located in the North Pacific Ocean, west of the Hawaiian Islands. It is part of the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain, which is a series of underwater mountains formed by volcanic activity associated with the movement of the Pacific Plate over a hotspot in the Earth's mantle. Vaughan Seamount is situated in a relatively deep area of the ocean and is not as well-known or studied as some of the more prominent seamounts in the chain.
