SEASAT altimetric geoid data are used to detect uncharted seamounts in the Austral archipelago area. The various physical parameters which affect the geoid signature of a seamount are inspected to analyse their influence on the precision of the location. If the correct elastic thickness is assumed, the precision on the location is order 15 km. Ten previously unsurveyed seamounts have been located in the Austral archipelago. It appears that they are emplaced along two well-defined azimuths and that two parallel distinct volcanic chains form the Austral archipelago
