GEBCO: discoverer and year of discovery (en): Discoverer: Japanese survey vessel "Takuyo". Year of discovery: 2002. History: Named from its shape as this feature looks like a group of three bird-claws. There are three similar features in this area, which brings to mind the three-legged crow, a creature found in various mythologies and arts of East Asia. In Japan, it is known as "Yatagarasu". "Ko" is the Japanese for small or minor, meaning that "Ko-Yatagarasu" refers to a small three-legged crow. A series of Seamounts and Guyots around the nearby Minami-Tori Shima Island (literally "Southern Bird Island" in Japanese) have been given bird names. |
