Yūryaku Seamount

Yūryaku Seamount (雄略海山) is an underwater volcano (seamount) of the Hawaiian–Emperor seamount chain in the Pacific Ocean.^[1] Yūryaku is an extinct volcano.^[2]

The seamount is also known as the "Yūryaku Guyot" because it has a flat top.^[3] This undersea geologic feature is also called a "guyot" or "tablemount".^[4]

This seabed mountain is named after Emperor Yūryaku of Japan.

The last eruption from Yūryaku seamount was 43 million years ago.^[5]
