In this paper we will study a feature of a localised topographic flow. We will prove existence of an ideal fluid containing a bounded vortex, approaching a uniform flow at infinity and passing over a localised seamount. The domain of the fluid is the upper half-plane and the data prescribed is the rearrangement class of the vorticity field.
