OREGON VOLCANO LOOKS READY TO ERUPT

The seafloor has dropped nearly 8 feet (2.4 meters) at the Axial Seamount undersea volcano, located 300 (480 km) miles off the coast of Oregon.

Geologists have been watching the volcano and predicted that it would erupt this year.

Signs of magma have been spotted near the volcano’s vent and geologists believe it is erupting. The region has also experienced thousands (8,000+) of very low magnitude earthquakes, a sign of imminent eruption.
