In the depths of the Pacific Ocean, 470 kilometers off the Oregon coast, a drama is unfolding. Axial Seamount, one of the most active underwater volcanoes in the world, is swelling with magma. Scientists believe it will erupt before the end of 2025—a bold prediction,

Underwater eruptions may seem distant to folks on land, but they have global significance. The 2022 Hunga Tonga event, for example, triggered a tsunami that caused an estimated $90 billion in losses.

Axial Seamount is a large, young volcano located at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, about 480 kilometres west off the Oregon coast. Following its discovery in 1970, the volcano has become the site of the world’s first underwater observatory, providing crucial information for researchers working to better understand volcanic activity.

The Axial Seamount volcano, 470km off the Oregon coast, is set to erupt in 2025, with the volcano displaying tell-tale signs of an imminent eruption, according to experts

Scientists are predicting an undersea volcano known as Axial Seamount, located just off the coast of Oregon, will erupt in 2025. Axial is the most active

An underwater volcano off the coast of Oregon might erupt soon. Researchers studying it predict that it will erupt before 2025 is wrapped up.

A submarine volcano near Oregon looks like it could erupt at any time, and scientists have stuck their necks out by predicting that the event will occur before the end of 2025. Forecasting volcanic eruptions with more than a few hours' notice is currently a huge challenge,
