There’s a huge volcano in northwest US territory, and all signs say it’s about to blow. The result is set to be a massive ...

Axial Seamount has exhibited increasing volcanic activity, with scientists able to measure the swelling of the underwater structure in the Pacific Ocean — indicating that the top could blow off ...

Axial Seamount, located on the Juan de Fuca Ridge, provides a unique opportunity for researchers because its eruptions are frequent and, crucially, don't pose a direct threat to human life.

Named Axial Seamount, the seafloor fissure sits on a geological hot spot where magma rises from the Earth’s mantle — a common sight along the ocean floor. But Axial also sits upon the Juan de Fuca ...

The volcano, known as Axial Seamount, is located nearly 1 mile (1.4 kilometers) underwater on a geological hot spot, where searing gushes of molten rock rise from Earth’s mantle and into the crust.

This indicates that there is a bump on the plate. Nakajima's analysis suggests that the bump is most likely a subducted seamount. It is well known that there are many seamounts, or underwater ...

The Axial Seamount is a mile-wide underwater volcano that sits 300 miles off the coast of Oregon and more than 4,900 feet below the surface of the Pacific Ocean. Researchers with the National ...
