2 days ago · The Axial Seamount, an underwater volcano located about 300 miles off the coast of Oregon, is displaying behavior that indicates an eruption is imminent in 2025, William Chadwick, an associate ...

2 days ago · The volcano, tucked underneath a submerged peak called Axial Seamount, is the most active volcano in the Pacific Northwest. Seismic activity, including hundreds of small earthquakes a day, indicate an eruption may be forthcoming — perhaps by the end of 2025, according to a blog kept by Bill Chadwick, a volcanologist who’s been closely ...

3 days ago · 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 ...

1 day ago · The Axial Seamount—a volcano located 300 miles off the coast of Oregon and a mile underwater—is slowly showing signs of an impending eruption. Although less well-known that other volcanic ...

Jan 6, 2025 · Axial Seamount sits under the Pacific Ocean about 300 miles from the U.S. coast. Since 1997, scientists have kept a careful eye on it using instruments that measure pressure on the ocean floor. Data shows that the volcano has been swelling, with changing rates that hint at an upcoming eruption.

Jul 8, 2024 · The most active volcano in the Pacific Northwest is the Axial Seamount. It’s located 300 miles west of Astoria, Oregon, and a mile under the ocean. It’s erupted three times in the past 25...

Axial Seamount rises 700 m above the mean level of the central Juan de Fuca Ridge crest about 480 km W of Cannon Beach, Oregon, to within about 1,400 m of the ocean surface. It is the most magmatically and seismically active site on the Juan de Fuca Ridge between the Blanco Fracture Zone and the Cobb offset.

Axial Seamount is the most robust volcanic system on the Juan de Fuca Ridge and it is seismically, magmatically, and hydrothermally active. It is located on the Juan de Fuca spreading center and hosts three active hydrothermal fields (ASHES, CHASM, and CASTLE).
