Vema Seamount is a seamount in the South Atlantic Ocean. Discovered in 1959 by a ship with the same name, it lies 1,600 kilometres (1,000 mi) from Tristan da Cunha and 1,000 kilometres (620 mi) northwest of Cape Town. The seamount has a flat top at a mean depth of 73 metres (40 fathoms) which was eroded into the seamount at a time when sea levels were lower; the shallowest point lies at 26 metres (14 fathoms) depth. The seamount was formed between 15-11 million years ago, possibly by a hotspot.

  • Der Vema ist ein 980 Kilometer westnord­westlich von Kapstadt im Südatlantik liegender Tiefseeberg, der aus einer Tiefe von ungefähr 4600 Metern empor ragt. Er hat die Form einer Tiefseekuppe, auch Guyot genannt, – mit kegelförmiger Struktur und abgeflachter Spitze – und ist vor ungefähr 11 Millionen Jahren vermutlich durch einen vulkanischen Hotspot entstanden.
