Also known as "Caryn Seamount". (Latitude 36° 40'N, longitude 67° 56'W) The Peak is a volcanic formation which stands some six thousand feet high, taller than five Empire State Buildings stacked on top of one another. It rises out of the undersea Sohm Abyssal Plain at the very end of Hudson Canyon, and is the place where the Song of the Twelve is traditionally enacted.

The Peak is nearly the southernmost and probably the farthest-flung of a chain of undersea mountains, called by humans the Kelvin Seamounts (or more recently, the New England Seamounts), which rise from the ocean floor off the east coast of North America. The cetacean name for Caryn Peak is "the Sea's Tooth". (DW)

(Note: It's interesting to discover that as early as 1986, scientists investigating underwater topography had noted in the journals that something a little unusual was going on with the movement of deep currents in the area. Other studies have mentioned peculiarities having to do with the area's magnetic field, possibly connected to the detection of indicators in the Kelvin Seamounts suggesting a large crustal movement along this fault area during the Mesozoic period. Something to do with a much earlier enactment of the Song?...)
