A massive underwater volcano off the Oregon coast is showing alarming signs of activity. The Axial Seamount, located nearly a mile beneath the Pacific Ocean, is inflating "like a balloon" as molten rock builds up inside. Scientists from Oregon State University have recorded over 2,000 earthquakes near the site in a single day — a strong indicator that an eruption could happen soon.<br /><br />This submarine giant last erupted in 2015 and is considered the most active underwater volcano in the region. Although experts believe the eruption won't impact humans or trigger a tsunami, it offers a rare chance to study volcanic behavior deep beneath the sea.<br /><br />Is Earth giving us a warning sign? Watch now to find out how close we are to a deep-sea eruption.<br />WooGlobe Ref : WGA830941<br />For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com
