Kemp Caldera
Geography and geomorphology
Kemp Caldera lies at the southern end of the
The volcano consists of two submarine edifices: the Kemp Caldera proper to the west and Kemp Seamount to the east.
Geology

Geochemistry and activity
Kemp Caldera has erupted low-
Ecology
Numerous marine animals have been identified at vent sites, such as
Whale falls have been found in the surrounding area and support their own biological communities; in total about nine unique ecological communities have been identified in and around Kemp Caldera.[29] The occurrence of limpets at both hydrothermal vents and whale falls in the Kemp Caldera area has been used as evidence that whale falls may be a stepping stone for species to propagate to submarine hydrothermal vents.[34]
Conservation
Kemp Caldera lies within the South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands Marine Protected Area.
