'''Ampère Seamount''' is located at 35°02’N and 12°54’W, the closest to it above water rock is at 380 km southwest - ''Rocha do Nordeste'' also known nowadays as Ilhéu de Fora of [[Porto Santo Island]] of the [[Madeira]] archipelago, [[Europe]] closest point is at 410 km northeast - the Lighthouse of [[Cabo de São Vicente]] the most southwestern point of [[Portugal]] and of the mainland of Europe, [[Africa]] closest point is at 430 km east - the ''Pharo El Beddouza'' [[Morocco]], at 630 km is [[Tangere]] and 650 km to [[Strait of Gibraltar]]. This [[Seamount]] is about 90 x 40 km, it rises from ocean depths of about 4500 m well into the euphotic zone. The summit topograhy is rather disturbed with a summit plateau ~ 6 x 3 km in about 120 m and a peak reaching up to 55 m below the water surface. |

Ampère Seamount is a seamount in the Atlantic Ocean, 410 km (250 mi) south-west of Portugal and 470 km (290 mi) west of Morocco.
It is located at 35°02'N and 12°54'W. This seamount is about 90 x 40 km, its base is at a depth of approximately 4,500 m (14,800 ft). The summit topography is rather disturbed with a summit plateau that is 6 by 3 km (3.7 by 1.9 mi) at a depth of 120 m (390 ft) and a peak reaching up to 55 m (180 ft) below the water surface.
In March 1974, Soviet research ship Academician Petrovsky underwent an expedition to explore the Ampere and Josephine seamounts. Underwater photographs taken during this expedition revealed a stone wall which included cut stone blocks scattered on both sides, Also what appear to be artificial steps partially covered with lava were photographed on the flat summit of the Ampere Seamount. This was the grounds for speculations that it may have been the location of the legendary Atlantis.[1][2][3]
