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.

Scientists have warned a volcano off the coast of Oregon could be set to erupt in 2025, but it could prove to be very useful for experts. You don’t need to worry, you haven’t somehow missed there being a massive volcano in the distance off the Oregon coast.

Axial Seamount is also the most active submarine volcano in the Pacific Northwest, having erupted multiple times since it was first discovered. Its most recent eruption was in April of 2015, causing thousands of underwater earthquakes to be detected and for the surrounding ocean floor to sink about 2 metres.

Scientists are predicting an undersea volcano known as Axial Seamount, located just off the coast of Oregon, will erupt in 2025. Axial is the most active

An underwater volcano, with a diameter of 2 km, located 470 km off the coast of Oregon is set to erupt in 2025, warn scientists

An underwater volcano off the coast of Oregon might erupt soon. Researchers studying it predict that it will erupt before 2025 is wrapped up.

The Axial Seamount volcano, 470km off the Oregon coast, is set to erupt in 2025, with the volcano displaying tell-tale signs of an imminent eruption, according to experts

The Axial Seamount is predicted to erupt in 2025, presenting a rare opportunity for scientists to test their models—tools that hold the potential to save lives.
