The Hawaiian–Emperor seamount chain is a mostly undersea mountain range in the Pacific that reaches above sea level in Hawaii. It is composed of the Hawaiian ridge consisting of the islands of the Hawaiian chain northwest to Kure Atoll and the Emperor Seamounts: together they form a vast underwater mountain region of islands and intervening seamounts atolls shallows banks and reefs along a line trending southeast to northwest beneath the northern Pacific Ocean.
