A seamount, which had been removed from bathymetric charts for lack 

 of conclusive information, was located west of Nashville Seamount 

 (Fig. 23). Time was not available for running additional lines over 

 this feature. 

 C. Magnetic Data Analysis 



Using data from this survey the magnetic polarization constants 

 for Kelvin Seamount have been computed (Van Voorhis, 1963) using the 

 method of Vacquier, 1962. The results of these computations indicate 

 that Kelvin Seamount is highly magnetized and has a large component 

 of remanent magnetization. The direction of total magnetization 

 of the seamount was found to have an azimuth considerably east of and 

 an inclination shallower than the present earth's field. 



Paleomagnetic pole positions for Kelvin Seamount have been 

 calculated using the computed direction of magnetization (Vacquier, 

 1963). These calculations locate the North Magnetic Pole at the 

 time of the seamount ' s formation at 73 North and 43 East, in the 

 Barents Sea. This position is not unusual, based on paleomagnetic 

 studies of other rocks (Doell, 1961),
