🚨🇺🇸UNDERWATER VOLCANO OFF OREGON IS WAKING UP — BUT NO NEED TO PANIC Axial Seamount, a giant volcano 300 miles off the Oregon coast and 4,500 feet underwater, is showing signs of life. Scientists expect it to erupt sometime in 2025, but stress there's no danger to people. The volcano last erupted in 2015 and is growing again, with magma rising steadily. However, earthquake activity has slowed, and experts say nothing is about to blow. Volcanologist Bill Chadwick jokes that eruptions love bad timing—he’s off to Guam for three weeks. Axial’s quiet for now. Still, eyes stay on the deep. Source: USA Today, NBC

🚨🇺🇸 SLEEPING GIANT STIRS: MASSIVE UNDERSEA VOLCANO SET TO BLOW OFF U.S. WEST COAST Scientists warn Oregon's 3,600-foot underwater volcano Axial Seamount is inflating like a balloon, triggering 500+ earthquakes daily as it preps for its next performance. The good news? This undersea monster 300 miles off the coast won't cause tsunamis or devastation like its 2022 Tongan cousin. The bad news? It's still going to blow, likely before 2026. Researchers say the volcano's surface has swollen to 95% of its "I'm about to explode" threshold - which is scientist-speak for "something interesting is about to happen half a mile underwater."
