A seamount in the Johnston Atoll area

Description

A seamount in the Johnston Atoll area. Appears guyot-like in the right-handarea of the image with a very flat surface, but the hummocky area in the leftcenter and the large depression are not typical of normal guyots. Perhapsthose areas were never exposed to the leveling action of surface waves.
