Scientists are holding their breath as hundreds of earthquakes rattle one of America's most dangerous volcanoes, which loom ...

Recent volcanic activity across the Pacific Ring of Fire has raised alarms among scientists and volcanologists, with several volcanoes experiencing heightened eruptions and seismic tremors. The Ring ...

Volcanoes across several US states have recently become active, while no immediate danger is reported, experts remain ...

This is a repost from the archives, an older post by Henrik which has been updated to reflect more recent findings. Did you know there are 255 volcanoes or volcanic features listed in the US?

In the shadow of Mount St. Helens stands a lesser-known but equally formidable titan: Mount Rainier. While most Americans remember the catastrophic eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980, fewer are ...

Mount Rainier’s eruptive history is complex and spans many millennia, with the last significant eruption believed to have occurred around 1,000 years ago. However, smaller eruptive events and ...

Several of Mount Rainier’s glaciers are already gone, experts say, and others aren’t far behind. The News Tribune asked what that means for visitors.

THE MUDFLOWS OR LAHARS WOULD BE LIKE NOTHING WE'VE SEEN BEFORE Scientists say the lava flows will then make large avalanches full of gas and rocks traveling at speeds of 100 mph down the mountain.

While Mount Rainier hasn’t erupted in 1,000 years, nearby Mount Saint Helens erupted in 1980, killing 57 people, roughly 7,000 big game animals, and taking 200 homes with it. That destruction was ...

Unlike traditional volcanic eruptions, lahars-fast-moving flows of water, volcanic debris, and rock-are the biggest risk posed by Mount Rainier.

Lahars aren’t the only thing we should be worried about if Rainier erupts. Air quality would plummet, Adeogun said — a hazard that sometimes gets overlooked.
