Abstract
Axial Seamount is a hotspot volcano
superimposed on the Juan de Fuca Ridge
(JdFR) in the Northeast Pacific Ocean.
Due to its robust magma supply, it rises
~ 800 m above the rest of JdFR and has
a large elongate summit caldera with
two rift zones that parallel and overlap
with adjacent segments of the spreading
center.
