The seamount is also known as "Meiji Guyot" because it has a flat top.Guyots are flat-topped because they were once above sea level, and were worn down by the sea. This undersea geologic feature is also called a "guyot" or "tablemount".Geographic.org,  "Meiji Guyot"; retrieved 2012-6-9.

This seabed mountain is named after Emperor Meiji of Japan.

The last eruption from Meiji seamount was 62 million years ago. VolcanoLive, Meiji Seamount
