Axial Seamount, on the Juan de Fuca spreading center, is an optimal site for a long-term observatory. It is located just one day by ship from the Washington and Oregon coasts and it is one of the main experimental sites on the Regional Cabled Array. Axial Seamount was chosen as a key observatory site because it is the largest and most magmatically robust volcano on the spreading center, having erupted in 1998, 2011, and again April 24, 2015. It hosts numerous active hydrothermal fields and abundant sites of diffuse flow. It is the most advanced volcanic observatory in the worlds’ oceans: Over 20 instruments now stream data at the speed of light to shore for a global audience to use.
