Background

Bathymetry appears to show a large cone-like structure with a 5-km-diameter caldera located midway between Metis Shoal (25 km NNE) and Kao (25 km SSW). Although no reports of volcanism are known from this feature, it is directly along the active Tofua volcanic arc, and has likely erupted within the Pleistocene.
