Patton Seamount is a prominent seamount in the Cobb–Eickelberg Seamount chain in the Gulf of Alaska. Located 166 nmi east of Kodiak Island and reaching to within 160 m of the ocean surface, Patton is one of the largest seamounts in the Cobb–Eickelberg Seamount chain. Over 10,000 feet tall and 20 miles wide at the base, Patton Seamount originally formed off Washington state as a submerged volcano 33 million years ago. Over time, as the Pacific Plate moved steadily northwest, Patton Seamount was carried off the hotspot and into the Gulf of Alaska.
