Scientists predict an undersea volcano eruption near Oregon in 2025
Real-time data from Axial Seamount provides a good test case for eruption forecasting
A 3-D bathymetric (seafloor) map of Axial Seamount in July 2014 shows lava flows from previous eruptions. Red indicates lava at the highest elevation above the seafloor, while dark blue at the edges shows where lava flow was thinnest.
