An underwater volcano named The Axial Seamount has shown growing signs of activity, which could lead to a potential eruption this year. Located 470 kilometers from the coastline it has been extensively monitored - offering scientists a rare opportunity to study it in detail.

The article from MSN discusses the recent activity of the Kick 'em Jenny volcano, located in the Caribbean Sea off the coast of Grenada. This underwater volcano, which is one of the most active in the region, has shown signs of potential eruption after scientists observed an unusual swelling of its summit. This swelling was detected through changes in the sea surface above the volcano, indicating possible magma movement beneath. The last eruption of Kick 'em Jenny was in 2001, and while there have been no confirmed eruptions since, the recent activity has prompted authorities to raise the alert level, advising maritime traffic to stay at least 1.5 kilometers away from the volcano's summit to avoid potential hazards from eruptions or tsunamis. The article also mentions that this activity serves as a reminder of the dynamic nature of Earth's geology and the importance of monitoring such natural phenomena.
