Why is Victoria Guyot called Victoria?
The feature was named in honor of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. The name refers to the monarch, not to the city of Victoria or a modern commercial brand.
Is Victoria Guyot a Pacific volcano?
It is a submarine volcanic mountain located in the Pacific. The description confirms its volcanic mountain form but does not establish that it is currently active.
