The Most Active Volcano in The Northeast Pacific Is Preparing to Erupt

By Tessa Koumoundouros – Science alert

Earth bubbles and broils beneath an underwater peak called Axial Seamount, located 480 kilometers (300 miles) off Oregon’s coast, causing it to swell in changing patterns that hint at impending strife.

This has prompted scientists to predict the submerged volcano will erupt before the end of 2025.

“Axial is the most active volcano in the Northeast Pacific which maybe some people don’t know, because it’s hidden under the ocean,” volcanologist Bill Chadwick told Jenn Chávezin in the Oregon Public Broadcasting podcast.
