| | Description | | Fetulele Seamount is located at 2¿ 21.2' N, 172¿ 48.9' E and is part of the Gilberts Ridge region on the Pacific Plate. The seamount is 1844 m high with the top at -2100 m and the ocean bottom at -3944 m. It has a volume of 224 km3. The seamount is slightly elongated with an azimuth of approximately 148¿ and is defined by 3 rifts, which resemble a triple junction. The top of the seamount forms a peak where the three predominate rifts meet. |
