00:00A massive underwater volcano off the U.S. coast is swelling with pressure.
00:04Could it erupt at any moment?
00:06Meet Axial Seamount, an active volcano lurking 480 kilometers off Oregon's coast.
00:12It's not just any volcano.
00:14This beast has already erupted three times since 1998, and now tremors are building again.
00:19But here's the twist.
00:21It's underwater.
00:22No towns, no cities, no people nearby.
00:25So even if it erupts, no human lives are at risk.
00:28Instead, what bubbles up is a golden chance for science.
00:31Each eruption reveals strange lifeforms, hydrothermal vents, and secrets from Earth's core.
00:37This volcano is more than a threat.
00:39It's a natural laboratory.
00:41So no, Axial Seamount isn't about to destroy humanity, but it is about to teach us how
00:45Earth really works.
00:47What lies beneath might just shape the future of science.
