Patton Seamount is 166 nautical miles southeast of Kodiak Island, in the Gulf of Alaska. It's among the largest features in the Kodiak-Bowie Seamount Chain. A school of squid came upon Alvin submersible while exploring Patton at 450 m during an expedition in 2002, squirting ink and posturing as if to intimidate sub. One squid took interest in a Golden Tanner crab trapped in the collecting basket. It's brushed away by Alvin's manipulator arm. http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/explorations/02alaska/welcome.html
