St. Paul

성층화산 · France · 268m

A small 1.8-km-wide caldera cuts the E side of uninhabited St. Paul Island, as depicted in this plate from the SMS Gazelle expedition. The flooded caldera has 300-m-high walls on the SW side and is narrowly constrained by low spits on the NE. Geothermal areas are located along the caldera rim and along the margins of the caldera bay. The entire NE half of the volcano forming much of the island now lies beneath the sea.

The uninhabited triangular island of St. Paul is located near the axis of the East Indian Ocean Ridge, 80 km S of Amsterdam Island. It is composed of an older tuff cone surmounted by a basaltic stratovolcano with a 1.8-km-wide caldera. The entire NE half of the volcano was submerged following collapse along a NW-trending fault. This breached the central caldera, leaving an 80-m-deep bay connected to the ocean by a narrow channel. Geothermal areas are located near the caldera rim and along the margins of the caldera bay. The only recorded eruption took place in 1793 from a vent on the lower SW flank.
