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.

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.

When the volcano erupts, it won't pose a danger. It has already erupted three times in the last 30 years, providing valuable information to scientists.

The Axial Seamount is not expected to threaten human population centres but it could help scientists forecast the eruption of more dangerous volcanoes.

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

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, but one based on decades of monitoring and a unique volcanic rhythm.

This volcano is the highlight of a chain of underwater mountains known as the Juan de Fuca Ridge (center of above image). These peaks straddle the North American and Pacific tectonic plates. As the plates move apart,

An underwater volcano off the coast of Oregon, known as Axial, is showing signs of a potential eruption by 2025. Located 300 miles (480 kilometers) west of Cannon Beach, this volcano is a prime
