Whakatāne Seamount

Whakatāne Seamount (also known as Whakatāne Volcano) is a submarine stratovolcano situated some 130 km off the Bay of Plenty coastline of New Zealand. It is found within the Kermadec Arc, and is one of the northernmost volcanoes of the Taupō Volcanic Zone and is usually recognised as the most southern of the South Kermadec Ridge Seamounts. The seamount rises some 1200 m from the seafloor, and reaches 900 m below sea level at its highest point.
