Sintesi geologica
An unnamed seamount was mapped during a 1979 cruise about 9 km NE of Kavachi (Okugrin, 1985), near the SE end of the New Georgia Islands at about 8.9°S. The seamount appeared to have been recently active, with porphyritic and aphyric andesitic rocks dredged from that location. Another seamount 7 km NW of Kavachi was capped by corals, and a small peak was noted on the SW flank of the seamount (see map after Okugrin, 1985, in Exon and Johnson, 1986).
