Submarine volcanic trench sighting near Atlantic routes

Recent observations suggest a submarine volcanic crater between the Canary Islands and Portugal. A Troma cable-laying ship noted depths of 1300 fathoms forward and 800 fathoms aft at latitude 39 25 N, longitude 9 54 W, implying edge-of-ocean-floor depth. An English geologist, Mr T Mellard Reade, cites sea-bed inequalities off Lisbon likely due to submarine mountains.
