Oregon’s most active underwater volcano could erupt this year, according to a prediction recently shared by scientists. The Axial Seamount, located 300 miles from the state’s coast and one mile beneath the Pacific Ocean’s surface,

Thanks to a network of sensors and the use of artificial intelligence, scientists are predicting the awakening of the Axial Seamount, off the Oregon coast.

Axial Seamount off Oregon's coast is the most active volcano in the Pacific Northwest, about 300 miles offshore and just under a mile beneath the ocean waves.

The Axial Seamount is predicted to erupt in 2025, presenting a rare opportunity for scientists to test their models—tools that hold the potential to save lives.

It brings the BOOM. It, of course, is the Axial Seamount, an underwater volcano off Oregon which scientists predict will erupt this year.

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

An undersea volcano off Oregon’s coast will likely erupt in 2025, scientists say. Known as Axial Seamount, it’s the most active volcano in the Pacific Northwest – though one most people haven’t heard of because it lies about 300 miles offshore and just under a mile beneath the ocean waves.
