The Axial Seamount is the Pacific Northwest’s most active volcano and is the most well-monitored deep-sea volcano in the world. It’s so active that scientists are using it to develop ways to predict when volcanoes will erupt weeks and even months ahead. With most people in Oregon and Washington living close to active volcanoes, this kind of advanced notice would allow communities to prepare and likely save countless lives. #Axial #Axialvolcano #underseavolcano #volcaniceruptions #volcanoes #oregonstate #NOAA
