Abstract

VEMA seamount lies in the South Atlantic Ocean about 1,000 km west-north-west of Cape Town, at 31° 38′ S., 8° 20′ E. It was discovered by the R.V. Vema (cruise V-16) in 19591 and visited again by the R.V. Conrad (cruise (C-8) in 1963. On both visits magnetic and bathymetric measurements were included in the shipboard geophysics programme. A third, and more extended, visit was made to this location by a group from the University of Cape Town2.
