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.

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.

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

One of the most active volcanoes in the Pacific Northwest is waking up -- leading some scientists to believe it will erupt in 2025.

An active undersea volcano near Oregon’s coast is predicted to erupt in 2025, according to scientists. The Axial Seamount is 300 miles from the coastline and a mile beneath the ocean’s surface and has been swelling steadily for the past six months while also experiencing seismic activity.

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.
