The Magellan Seamounts (also known as Magellan Seamount Group[1] and previously called Magellan Rise[2][3] ) stretch from the Mariana Trench to Ita Mai Tai Guyot.[4] Geological studies have demonstrated unique features with implications on understanding of ocean island basalt volcanism.[5] Contracts exist with the International Seabed Authority to exploit the areas potential mineral wealth.[6]
