GEBCO: discoverer and year of discovery (en): Discoverer: Japanese survey vessel "Takuyo". Year of discovery: 2001. 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 foundin various mythologies and arts of East Asia. In Japan, it is known as"Yatagarasu". "Naka" is the Japanese for middle, meaning that "Naka-Yatagarasu" refers to a middle size 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. |
