Clipperton Rock, Volcanic summit on Clipperton Island, France.
The elongated rock formation extends for one hundred meters and reaches a height of 29 meters above the surrounding Pacific Ocean waters.
The rock represents the final remnant of an ancient volcanic structure that formed Clipperton Island before its transformation into a coral atoll.
French scientists established a geodetic marker from the National Institute of Geographic Information on the rock surface for precise measurements.
The rock formation contains multiple cavities and internal corridors that serve as emergency shelters during severe weather conditions.
Near the rock lies Trou-sans-fond, a 90-meter deep circular well connected to a volcanic chimney with high sulfide concentrations.
Elevation above the sea: 29 m
