Cadamosto Seamount

About

Cadamosto Seamount is a seamount in the Cape Verde islands, 25 kilometres (16 mi) southwest of Brava. It rises to a depth of 1,380 metres (4, 530 ft) and partially overlaps with Brava. The seamount appears to be one of the recently active volcanic centres of the Cape Verde islands and has produced phonolite. The seamount has had intense volcanic eruptions in the late Pleistocene, and recent seismic activity indicates that volcanism is ongoing.
