Axial Seamount, located off the Oregon coast, is experiencing hundreds of earthquakes daily, signaling a potential eruption. Currently, around 100 earthquakes are recorded daily, with spikes reaching 300. The quakes are small and undetectable on land. Experts suggest magma is moving upwards, which indicates building pressure. Predictions indicate an eruption could happen by July 2026 or as late as May 2027. Once the eruption occurs, daily quake counts could rise dramatically, reaching 10,000 quakes in a single day, indicating active magma movement beneath the seafloor.
Axial Seamount, the most active volcano in the Pacific Northwest, has experienced hundreds of earthquakes daily, indicating a potential imminent eruption.
Scientists believe Axial Seamount could erupt any day, but forecasts suggest timing may be between now and May 2027.
