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.

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.

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

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.

The Axial Seamount is not expected to threaten human population centres but it could help scientists forecast the eruption of more dangerous volcanoes.

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

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.
