Bear Seamount

 Bear Seamount is an impressive feature in the Monument! It is estimated to be the oldest seamount in the Monument at approximately 100 million years old! This “monumental” seamount reaches a height of 2,499 m (8,199 ft.) off the seafloor. To compare this magnitude,  Mount Washington’s peak is only at 1,917 m (6,288 ft.).
