It’s one of the Pacific Northwest’s most active volcanoes – but there’s a good reason you’ve probably not heard of it before: Axial Seamount is located not just 480 kilometers (300 miles ...

A seamount nearly twice the height of the world’s tallest building has been discovered on the ocean floor near Guatemala — and serves as a biodiversity hot spot.

Over geological time, a stationary mantle plume below the shifting Pacific tectonic plate has created a 1,120-mile-long line of submarine volcanoes, known as the Cobb-Eickelberg seamount chain.

The seamount, which supports a "thriving" ecosystem, is 1.9 miles tall, making it taller than five One World Trade Centers stacked on top of each other.

Ruth Eickelberg, 93, who earned enough points to become a life master at the game of duplicate bridge, died Friday in a Long Grove nursing home.Mrs. Eickelberg of Elmhurst was born in Winfield, Iowa.

Axial Seamount, a submarine volcano 300 miles off the coast of Oregon, could erupt for the first time since 2015, spewing “very fluid lava” into the sea where scientists were recording more ...

"A seamount over 1.5 kilometers tall which has, until now, been hidden under the waves really highlights how much we have yet to discover," Jyotika Virmani, the executive director of Schmidt Ocean ...
