Far beneath the Pacific Ocean, an enormous underwater volcano off the Oregon coast is showing signs that it may be waking up after years of relative quiet. Scientists monitoring the seafloor have detected increased activity, including changes in the volcano's shape and unusual signals rising from deep below the ocean floor. Known as Axial Seamount, this hidden giant has erupted before, and researchers believe it could be one of the most closely watched volcanic systems on Earth. This video explores the latest warnings, what scientists are seeing beneath the waves, and whether a new eruption could happen sooner than expected. One of North America's most active volcanoes is completely invisible from shore—and it may already be preparing for its next move.
