An undersea volcano off the Oregon coast will likely erupt in 2025, and scientists can use the lessons learned from forecasting and watching its eruption to monitor other more hazardous and unpredictable volcanoes.

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,

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

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.

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
