William Wilcock, a professor in the UW School of Oceanography, described Axial Seamount as "a genuine hotspot," noting its large caldera formed by the collapse of its magma chamber.
Because Axial Seamount is so far from shore and so deep, humans aren't expected to be impacted. But the impending magma flow generates pressure, heating sea water to more than 700 degrees Fahrenheit.
