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

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.

( NewsNation) — 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.

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,

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.

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

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.
