Capricorn Seamount
Capricorn Seamount is a seamount in Tonga. It rises to a depth of about and is capped off by a wide summit platform. It appears to be a submerged volcano of Miocene age that may be part of a volcanic chain with Niue. Capricorn Seamount is located on the eastern flank of the Tonga Trench and is in the process of breaking up; in turn the trench has been altered by the interaction with the downgoing seamount.
