Oropedium Azorense

Despectus in oropedium cum aliquibus Azorum insulis colore flavo monstratis.

Oropedium Azorense est planities oceanica in Oceano Atlantico ad occidentem Hiberiae sita, e qua hodie Azores insulae surgunt.[1] Formam triscelem habet et circa 2000 metrorum subter aequor marinum iacet.[2][3] Haec planities summersa, ab area calida Azorensi(en) abhinc annorum 20 000 000 formata, etiamnunc vulcanismo quatitur.[1][4] Terra nunc summersa antiquitate fortasse revelata est, aevo cum aequor marinum maxime humile esset, sed utrum homines umquam hic habitarent nescimus, neque hic inventae sunt summersae structurae ab hominibus aedificatae.
