Abstract
Submarine volcanoes are common morphological features on certain zones of the ocean floor and seafloor imagery systems (ie: multibeam and backscattering data) are recently playing a key role in providing instrumental data for the correct interpretation of geomorphic processes involved in their genesis and development through time.. We present here a detailed geomorphological map of the Enarete seamount (Aeolian Arc-Tyrrhenian Sea), produced by the interpretation of a high resolution Digital Terrain Model (DTM) obtained by a multi-beam bathymetric survey. The bathymetry has been acquired during the M70 oceanographic cruise, carried out on board the R∖ V Meteor in 2006. The Enarete seamount is located in the westernmost sector of the Aeolian Arc, between other two seamounts: Sisifo (NW) and Eolo (SE).
