Researchers who led the 28-day expedition along the nearly 2-mile tall seamount hope the discoveries made will inform future policies safeguarding the understudied, high-seas region.

I’ve had a lot of people message me with worry about the “offshore volcano predicted to erupt”.

This volcano, called the “Axial Seamount” erupts relatively frequently, including in 1998, 2011, and 2015. No need for concern.
