Strange spire NNE of Truk

11-12-10, 11:46 AM

Playing TMO/RSRD and passed near Truk and see this tall spire sticking out the water at 152 deg 0E, 8 deg,0N. What is it? I don't know how to upload pics so I can only say where it is.

Lot's mistress?

Lot's Wife, aka Sofu Gan (jap name, USN guys called it Lot's Wife).

There's plenty of underwater mountains and smaller islands in that area, so it's probably related to those.

Lot's Wife is situated a few thousand kilometers north.

I think he might be referring to a terrain bug. There's this spike that comes out of the seafloor, to whatever altitude i don't know, i just know it reachs as high as you can see. It's REALLY weird looking.

True, and Lot's Wife is NNW, anyway I guess.
