Koslow, J.A. (1997). "Seamounts and the ecology of deep-sea fisheries". Am. Sci. 85 (2): 168–176. Bibcode: 1997AmSci..85..168K. Evolution of Hawaiian volcanoes. The life cycle of seamounts was originally observed off of the Hawaiian arc. Seamounts are a possible future source of economically important metals. Even though the ocean makes up 70% of Earth's surface area, technological challenges have severely limited the extent of deep sea mining. But with the constantly decreasing supply on land, some mining specialists see oceanic mining as the destined future, and seamounts stand out as candidates. [39] With a thriller heart and a sci-fi head, The Mountain in the Sea delivers a spooky, smart read. Artificial intelligence, nascent animal sentience, murderous flying drones: like the best of Gibson or Atwood, it brings all of the plot without forgetting the bigger questions of consciousness, ecocide, and scientific progress. Truly a one-of-a-kind story.” There was a watery halo of headlamps between trees: her welcoming party. The drone’s running lights shut off. Now Ha saw the full moon, half-occluded by a smear of cirrus clouds. Cumulus clouds hovered low, watering the island’s tropical forests.

Rumors begin to spread of a species of hyperintelligent, dangerous octopus that may have developed its own language and culture.

(Image credit: Westend61 via Getty Images) The answer is a mountainous "no." That honor would go to Mauna Kea, an inactive volcano in Hawaii. Although its peak is 13,802 feet (4,205 m) above sea level — which is less than half the height of Everest, according to National Geographic— the majority of Mauna Kea is hidden below sea level. When measured from base to peak, Mauna Kea is 33,497 feet (10,211 m) tall, according to the United States Geological Survey, which puts it heads and shoulders above Mount Everest. But the book isn’t simply a mashup of other SF situations: it is also a novel of ideas – and with so much information, the reader can forgive the few times a character takes a deep breath and delivers a massive exposition-dump. A cleverer way to handle the freight of philosophical speculation about the nature of consciousness – both human and other – is the way that each chapter is prefaced by book extracts, such as one on potential marine intelligence supposedly written by Nguyen herself, entitled How Oceans Think: The Bowie Seamount Area" (PDF).
