Geologists previously predicted Axial Seamount would erupt this year
For more than a week the region has experienced thousands of tiny quakes
Seafloor has also reportedly dropped by almost 8ft (2.4 metres)
Both are said to be a sign of magma moving from beneath the summit

An undersea volcano situated 300 miles (480 km) off the coast of Oregon is thought to be erupting after signs of magma were spotted near its deep sea vent.

Geologists predicted the volcano, called Axial Seamount, would erupt this year during a public lecture in September.

And for more than a week the region has experienced thousands of tiny earthquakes - a sign that magma is moving towards the surface.

The seafloor has also reportedly dropped by almost 8ft (2.4 metres), additionally said to be a sign of magma being withdrawn from a reservoir beneath the summit.

It is dubbed Axial Seamount due its location along the axis of an underwater mountain ridge.
