East of the Vanuatu island of Epi can be found a series of active underwater volcanic cones and a caldera which last erupted in 2023. These series of submarine volcanoes are generally referred as East Epi, and the 3 bigger cones have specific names, from west to east, Epi-A, Epi-B and Epi-C. All of these cones have had intermittent activity in ...

Erromango was formed during a prolonged period of volcanic activity took place between 6-1 Ma. [47] The island is an ancient underwater volcano that has been raised 100-300m above sea level by tectonic uplift, forming a plateau on which stand three sets of eroded volcanic cones in the centre, north and east of the island. The centre is divided ...

The Vanuatu subduction zone (previously called New Hebrides subduction zone) is currently one of the most active subduction zones on Earth, producing great earthquakes (magnitude 8.0 or greater), with potential for tsunami hazard to all coastlines of the Pacific Ocean. [2] [3] There are active volcanoes associated with arc volcanism.
Map of world's major seamounts. A list of active and extinct submarine volcanoes and seamounts located under the world's oceans. There are estimated to be 40,000 to 55,000 seamounts in the global oceans. [1] Almost all are not well-mapped and many may not have been identified at all. Most are unnamed and unexplored.
Nautical chart of Futuna island. It was formed by the uplift of an underwater volcano, which last erupted in the Pleistocene, at least 11,000 years ago.The volcano reaches a height of 666 m (2,185 ft) and gives the island an area of 11 km 2 (4.2 sq mi).
