Once upon a time, there was a brave little bathyscaphe named Bubbles. Bubbles loved to explore the deep sea and discover new things. One day, Bubbles set out on a journey to find the tallest seamount in the ocean.

As Bubbles was diving deeper and deeper, it became darker and darker. But Bubbles was not afraid, because he was equipped with powerful lights that lit up the way. After a long journey, Bubbles finally saw the tallest seamount in the distance.

Bubbles was so excited that he quickly swam towards it, eager to explore its every nook and cranny. But as he got closer, he realized something ironic. The tallest seamount was not a seamount at all, but a giant iron mountain!

Bubbles was amazed at this discovery, as he had never seen anything like this before. He explored the iron mountain for hours, taking pictures and gathering samples to bring back to the surface.

As Bubbles was about to leave the iron mountain and head back to the surface, he realized that he had run out of fuel. He was stranded! But then, Bubbles remembered that his bathyscaphe was made of iron, just like the mountain. So, he used his bathyscaphe to mine some of the iron from the mountain and use it as fuel.

With a full tank of fuel, Bubbles set out for the surface. When he arrived, he was greeted with cheers and applause. He told everyone about his incredible discovery and showed them the pictures and samples he had collected.

From that day on, Bubbles became known as the bravest bathyscaphe in the ocean, and the iron mountain was named after him. And every time someone looked at the iron mountain, they would remember the ironic discovery made by the little bathyscaphe named Bubbles.
