Anton Dohrn Seamount, Submerged mountain in North Atlantic Ocean, Scotland
The seamount rises 1800 meters from the seafloor with steep slopes and a flat summit located 600 meters below the water surface.
Scientific vessels discovered the seamount in September 1958 during the Polarfront expedition, naming it after German biologist Anton Dohrn.
The seamount functions as a research site for marine scientists studying deep-sea coral ecosystems and underwater geological formations.
Research vessels access the seamount through specialized underwater equipment, as its location lies 200 kilometers west of the Scottish mainland.
The marine protected area contains cold-water coral reefs with species that develop at depths between 747 and 1770 meters.
