Mount Error Guyot

Mount Error Guyot is a flat-topped submarine volcano on the deep Pacific Ocean floor. The term guyot describes an underwater volcanic mountain with a relatively level summit.

Its summit is flat rather than sharply conical, which is the defining shape of a guyot. Such flat tops are commonly interpreted as remnants of volcanic islands or seamounts that were eroded before subsiding.

No. Mount Error Guyot is a deep-ocean geological feature beneath the Pacific Ocean, not an exposed mountain or island.

Oceanographers recognize it for its distinct flat-topped volcanic form and its location on the Pacific seafloor. Its shape records part of the geological history of an extinct or inactive submarine volcano.
