Condor Seamount

Submarine mountain west-southwest of Faial Island in the Azores

The Condor Seamount is a submarine mountain located at 17 kilometres (11 mi) west-southwest of Faial Island in the Azores. It is approximately 1,800 metres (5,900 ft) high, 39 kilometres (24 mi) long and 23 kilometres (14 mi) wide, stretching from a depth of 185 metres (607 ft) up to 2,003 metres (6,572 ft). It is an elongated shaped volcano, oriented east-west, with the top relatively flat with smooth sedimentary flanks. Most seamounts lie in deep sea and/or open ocean, and thus are inaccessible and difficult to study. The Condor bank, constitutes an interesting case study due to its accessibility, located close to Faial island.
