(JANUARY 10, 2025) Scientists say an underwater volcano near Oregon might erupt in 2025.
The volcano is called Axial Seamount. It is 300 miles from Cannon Beach. It erupted before in 1998, 2011, and 2015.
The ground on the volcano is rising. This shows hot rock is moving inside. This often happens before an eruption.
The volcano is not dangerous to people. Scientists are watching it closely.
