A mud volcano in San Juan de Uraba, Colombia, erupted on February 25, 2026, spewing fire and mud near a water plant. Authorities report no injuries to humans but warn of ground cracks and potential further activity.

New Cornell University led-research challenges the long-standing belief that active volcanoes have large magma bodies that are expelled during eruptions and then dissipate over time as the volcanoes become dormant. The deep structure of volcanoes has ...

But because volcanoes can lie dormant for centuries, the policy toolbox may be relatively empty or outdated," Fink said. "This collection of papers, and the scientific symposia that they are based upon from 2000, 2010 and 2020, focus not only on the ingredients in the box of volcano knowledge, but also on how new ideas get added over a period of decades.

An underwater volcano off Oregon's coast is likely to erupt in 2025, according to scientists monitoring the situation. Axial Seamount—the most active volcano in the northeast Pacific Ocean—is located less than 300 miles off the coast of Oregon.

A thick blue-white haze envelops the Research Vessel Thompson as it floats 250 miles off the Oregon coast. Akel Kevis-Stirling’s orange life vest and blue hardhat are vivid pops of color in the fog. “You guys ready to go?” he calls into his radio.
