A volcano is probably erupting deep beneath the Pacific Ocean in the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, but scientists don’t know for sure because it’s so inaccessible.
HONOLULU —
Scientists are looking to see if the activity is shallow earthquakes or if material exploded from the crater, said Matt Haney, a USGS research geophysicist. Scientists are checking satellite data to see if there’s discolored water, which could suggest material is coming out of the volcano, he said. With help from the the Laboratoire de Geophysique in Tahiti and data from seismic stations in Guam and Japan, scientists analyzed the signals to determine the source of the activity was probably Ahyi Seamount, the USGS said in a statement.Ahyi seamount is a large conical submarine volcano. Its highest point is 259 feet below the surface of the ocean. It’s located about 11 miles southeast of the island of Farallon de Pajaros, also known as Uracas.
