Meiji Seamount is a submerged volcanic mountain, or seamount, located in the North Pacific Ocean. It is part of the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain and is situated approximately 1,500 kilometers (about 930 miles) northwest of the Hawaiian Islands. The seamounts in this chain were formed as the Pacific Plate moved over a stationary hotspot in the Earth's mantle, resulting in volcanic activity and the creation of islands and seamounts over millions of years.
