The Axial Seamount, an underwater volcano located about 300 miles off the coast of Oregon and Washington on the Juan de Fuca Ridge, is showing signs of imminent eruption, according to recent warnings from US scientists. This seamount is one of the most active volcanoes in the northeast Pacific Ocean and is closely monitored by the Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) and other research groups. Previous eruptions occurred in 1998, 2011, and 2015, each providing valuable data for volcanologists. The current warning is based on increased seismic activity and ground deformation detected by underwater sensors. While the volcano is located far from populated land areas, its eruption could have significant effects on the surrounding marine environment, including changes in water chemistry, impacts on deep-sea ecosystems, and potential damage to scientific equipment installed on the seafloor. The event is not expected to pose a direct threat to human populations or coastal communities. However, it offers a rare opportunity for scientists to study submarine volcanic processes in real time, contributing to a better understanding of oceanic volcanism and its broader environmental impacts.
