Plain as day, 1/3 of the way between the Pillars of Hercules and the Americas, is a vast, raised underwater plateau that runs over the highly unstable mid-Atlantic ridge. In the center of this vast, raised underwater plateau is a huge mountain chain. This mountain chain, though it once kissed the sky in the midst of the Atlantic Ocean, has since been humbled by earthquake and Flood, and is now reduced to a small chain of islands now known as the Azores.
The Azores are the last bits of the island of Poseidia which, according to Cayce, was the last of the Atlantic islands to sink beneath the waves. This was the Atlantis of Plato, the great island "larger than Libya and Asia put together", that had once terrorized the entire world. Though it is not currently known whether or not this submarine plateau has the cultural, mineralogical and zoological contents that Plato described, it does fulfill all of the geographical characteristics laid out by Plato's Timaeus and Critias and generally corroborated by Edgar Cayce, to wit:
It Is Located in the Middle of the Atlantic: "these histories tell of a mighty power which unprovoked made an expedition against the whole of Europe and Asia, and to which your city put an end. This power came forth out of the Atlantic Ocean". The Azores are located 1,000 miles west of the Pillars of Hercules, roughly 1/3 of the way across the Atlantic Ocean;
