Birma Seamount

Birma Seamount, also known as Birma Knoll, is a undersea mountain in the North Atlantic Ocean, located about 650 km (400 mi) south of Cape Race in Canadian waters off Atlantic Canada.

It has a height of over 1,800 m (5,900 ft), making Birma the tallest of the Fogo Seamounts.

Its areal extent of 733 km2 (283 sq mi) is smaller than the Albertan city of Calgary.

[1] Birma Seamount is named after the SS Birma, a Russian steamship that responded to the RMS Titanic's distress signal following her collision with an iceberg on 15 April 1912.
