Govorov Guyot was discovered in 1987 during a cruise of R/V Morskoi Geolog (USSR Ministry of Geology) and named after Russian geologist I.N. Govorov (1920–1997). The guyot is the largest in the MS chain, with its 190 × 180 km base, a trapezium-shaped main body with 70–90 km sides, and a 79 × 53 km flat top. The main guyot edifice is extended with two satellites oriented in the southwest and southeast directions and large offshoots in the south and northeast. The northern slope is cut by a ~25 km long canyon, and another canyon, 15 km wide and up to 700 m deep, separates the southwest satellite from the northern slopes of Gordin Guyot (Figure 1b,c). The southeast satellite has a ~20 km long top (Figure 1b,d). The two satellites may be separate guyots or parts of the main edifice detached along faults. The slopes of the main edifice dip at 4–8 to 25°; the northern and northeastern slopes are shallower (10–15°) than the western and eastern ones till the 4500 m depth.
