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.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks to a network of sensors and the use of artificial intelligence, scientists are predicting the awakening of the Axial Seamount, off the Oregon coast.

In the depths of the Pacific Ocean, 470 kilometers off the Oregon coast, a drama is unfolding. Axial Seamount, one of the most active underwater volcanoes in the world, is swelling with magma. Scientists believe it will erupt before the end of 2025—a bold prediction, but one based on decades of monitoring and a unique volcanic rhythm.

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

The most active underwater volcano in the North Pacific Ocean is primed to erupt in an event that could help scientists fine tune their understanding of what triggers volcanic activity.

It brings the BOOM. It, of course, is the Axial Seamount, an underwater volcano off Oregon which scientists predict will erupt this year.
