Godzilla Megamullion

The Godzilla Megamullion is 600 kilometres (370 mi) to the south-east of Okinotorishima, the southernmost island of Japan.

[1] The megamullion is dome-shaped, and is named after Godzilla as it is the largest known oceanic core complex, measuring approximately 125 by 55 km (78 by 34 mi),[2] more than ten times the size of the next largest known oceanic core complex.

[3] The Godzilla Megamullion was discovered in 2001 as part of the Continental Shelf Surveys Project of the Hydrographic and Oceanographic Department of Japan, and was first described by Yasuhiko Ohara.

Due to the large size of the megamullion, when describing features it is often divided into distal, medial, and proximal parts.

[3] The Japan Coast Guard helped to name the megamullion, reaching an agreement with Toho, who own the rights to the character Godzilla.
