rise
The Dict. of Earth Science (Michel & Fairbridge) gives "oceanic rise" for "remontée océanique" and this definition is on the Web:
oceanic rise ( ′ōshē′anik ′rīz ) ( geology ) A long, broad elevation of the bottom of the ocean.
www.answers.com/topic/oceanic-rise
But elsewhere "remontée océanique" is given as "upwelling", i.e. a movement of water, which Michel/Fairbridge give as "remontée d'eau marine".
Maybe just "rise" :
rise (1) In oceanography, a broad gently sloping, elevated portion of the sea-floor, similar to a mid-oceanic ridge but without the media rift valley
[Penguin Dict. of Physical Geography]

In case there is any doubt that the Kerguelen Plateau and, hence, the "remontée" in question, are in fact under water :

Out of context this COULD be interpreted to be "upwelling" of water from the depths, but this makes clear we are indeed talking geography:
En arrivant dans le coin des iles Kerguelen, on arrive également sur les remontées de fond du plateau des Kerguelen. Les fonds remontent de 3000 m à 300 m avec même un haut fond à 12 m ce matin devant JP Dick. Les houles de l’atlantique sud et de l’océan indien s’amplifient sur cette remontée de fond occasionnant une mer importante pour les bateaux

BTW
I would have put "slopes" had this been my translation. "Rise" is a very unusual term, except in geography probably :-)

Si c'est une remontée d'eau ok?
La remontée d'eau [1] (upwelling en anglais) est un phénomène océanographique qui se produit lorsque de forts vents marins (généralement des vents saisonniers) poussent l'eau de surface des océans laissant ainsi un vide où peuvent remonter les eaux de fond et avec elle une quantité importante de nutriments.
Les phénomènes de remontée d'eau se localisent par leurs résultats : une mer froide et riche en phytoplancton. Concrètement pour les pêcheurs, la remontée d'eau se traduit par une augmentation importante du nombre de poissons.
