"It's getting ready to erupt"—one of America's most active volcanoes has the country on edge. It is called the Axial Seamount, the U.S. West Coast

The underwater volcano Axial Seamount is on the brink of eruption, and scientists warn that this event is inevitable. Located 300 miles off the coast of Oregon, Axial Seamount is showing signs of an impending eruption,

Poised some 300 miles off the coast of Oregon, one mile beneath the sea, yet rising 3,600 feet high, and spanning 1.2 miles across, one of the world’s most active volcanoes rests. It’s waiting, gurgling with seismic activity, preparing for a possible eruption sometime this year, according to scientists.

A huge volcano at the bottom of the sea near the US ’ northwestern coast is predicted to erupt this year. Named Axial Seamount, it’s more than a mile wide and stands 3,600 feet (1,100 metres) from the seafloor. One of the most active undersea volcanoes in the world, it has erupted three times over the past 30 years.

The colossal Axial Seamount, one of the most active and best-monitored underwater volcanoes in the world, could erupt in a similar fashion to Hawaii's Mauna Loa

Scientists are predicting that a mile-deep volcano off the U.S. West Coast will erupt this year. The Axial Seamount, an underwater volcano located about 300 miles off the coast of Oregon, is displaying behavior that indicates an eruption is imminent in 2025,
