Poland described the volcano as "fascinating " but reassured it "doesn't really pose a hazard". The Axial Seamount is a shield volcano, akin to Mauna Loa in Hawaii, the world's most active volcano.

Axial Seamount is a shield volcano, which means it's shaped like a shield rather than a steep-sided cone volcano. Its caldera at the top is a few miles wide and long, and about 300 feet deep.

One would think that a volcano was not the most hospitable place for living organisms. However, the Borealis Mud Volcano, at 400 m water depth, acts as a sanctuary for a number of marine species.
