Dhakhan Seamount, Julunggul Transform, and the Minawara Seamount Chain.  This sonar image shows several seamounts recently formed near the spreading center where new seafloor is being created by the NE-SW divergence of the Australian and Antarctic tectonic plates.  A more detailed explanation of the origin of these features is given on the previous page.  A more detailed explanation of the sonar image is given on the Gallery page.  These sonar data were collected in 1994 by the R/V Melville. 

The names of these seamounts are based on Australian Aboriginal mythology and are provisional pending approval.
