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.

An undersea volcano off Oregon's coast will probably erupt in 2025, scientists say. The volcano, known as Axial, is a seamount 300 miles (480 kilometers) west of Cannon Beach, Oregon. The Axial seamount erupts regularly — it rumbled to life in 1998,

It, of course, is the Axial Seamount, an underwater volcano off Oregon which scientists predict will erupt this year. The Axial Seamount is the most active submarine volcano in its northeasterly swath of the Pacific Ocean,
