Scientists Monitor Twin Volcanoes in the Pacific Northwest After New Activity

In this video, we take a closer look at the alarming volcanic unrest building beneath the Pacific Northwest—where scientists are closely monitoring two of the region’s most dangerous volcanic systems at the same time. From record-breaking earthquake swarms beneath Mount Rainier to growing eruption forecasts for Axial Seamount deep under the Pacific Ocean, experts say the Northwest may be entering a rare and significant period of geologic activity.

The Pacific Northwest is no stranger to volcanic danger, but simultaneous unrest at both a major land volcano and one of the most active undersea volcanoes in the world is drawing unprecedented scientific attention. Could these warning signs point to a larger shift beneath the Ring of Fire? And what might it mean for the millions living in Washington and Oregon?
