Background

A ship captain in 1824 reported columns of water ejected to heights of 30 m. The location of this event is on the southern flank of the broad Sierra Leone submarine rise between the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the west coast of Africa. The eruption report was considered questionable according to the Catalog of Active Volcanoes of the World (Neumann van Padang, et al., 1967). The water depth in this area is 2900 m.
