Pacific’s Axial Seamount Underwater Volcano Forecast to Erupt in 2025

Impending Eruption of Axial Seamount Underwater Volcano

Summary:

Meteorology Matters looks at the Axial Seamount, an underwater volcano located approximately 300 miles off the coast of Oregon, is highly likely to erupt sometime in 2025. This prediction is based on decades of monitoring, a pattern of regular eruptions, and real-time data indicating the volcano is inflating as magma accumulates. While this eruption poses no direct threat to human lives due to its depth and distance from shore, it provides a unique research opportunity to improve volcanic forecasting and understand undersea volcanic processes.

Key Themes and Findings:

1. Imminent Eruption:

• Multiple sources agree that the Axial Seamount is expected to erupt in 2025.
