Rumble II West, about 12 km NW of Rumble II East, rises 1,800 m from the ocean floor to within 1,200 m of the surface. Bathymetry shows a 2.5-3 km summit caldera about 200 m deep with a central cone. There is evidence of hydrothermal activity, and cones are present on the flanks. Some lava flows on the western flanks originating from near the caldera rim have little or no sediment cover.
