Scientists have identified the “mystery volcano” that erupted in 1831 and cooled Earth’s climate. They have linked it to an island volcano in the northwest Pacific. Some of the largest volcanic eruptions on the planet have occurred at Yellowstone National Park, and scientists have determined when the next one could occur.

It brings the BOOM. It, of course, is the Axial Seamount, an underwater volcano off Oregon which scientists predict will erupt this year.

The Axial Seamount is predicted to erupt in 2025, presenting a rare opportunity for scientists to test their models—tools that hold the potential to save lives.

Yellowstone National Park, known for erupting geysers like Old Faithful, is home to one of earth’s largest volcanic systems, with the capacity to wreak havoc on an entire continent — and components of that so-called supervolcano are on the move,

Geologists from the USGS are warning about changes in volcanic activity at Yellowstone that may shift to the northeast, according to Newsweek. The latest research conducted by scientists from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) indicates a possible shift in magma activity beneath the Yellowstone supervolcano towards the northeast.
