Additional information (en): This feature has a nearly pear shape.

Minimum depth (m): 1531. Maximum depth (m): 4532. Total relief (m): 3001. Dimension/size: 33 km x 23 km. |

GEBCO: discoverer and year of discovery (en): Discoverer: Chinese research vessel "Xiang Yang Hong 14". Year of discovery: 2019. History: Named from its shape as the feature, from the top view, looks like the starfish species “Forcipulatida”, "Qianji" in Chinese, clinging to the sea floor. Indeed, the feature has five radially distributed ridges, similar to a Qianji starfish with its five arms. |
