List of submarine volcanoes

A list of active and extinct submarine volcanoes and seamounts located under the world's oceans. There are estimated to be 40,000 to 55,000 seamounts in the global oceans.[1] Almost all are not well-mapped and many may not have been identified at all. Most are unnamed and unexplored. This list is therefore confined to seamounts that are notable enough to have been named and/or explored.

gollark: ... why are all database accesses now causing apioforms
gollark: `SIGSEGV: Illegal storage access. (Attempt to read from nil?)` in some random internal apiocode.
gollark: <:bees:724389994663247974> ❗ I have an unfathomable error.
gollark: You know what they say, PHP awful and utterly bad and so apiaristic and aaaa.
gollark: Ignore LyricLy. He will be demoted if he does evil.
