Scientists watch Mount Rainier for signs of eruption, which could threaten Seattle-area communities.

Scientists closely monitor Mount Rainier, one of the US's most active volcanoes, using advanced sensors to detect any signs of an eruption. Located near Seattle, Mount Rainier poses a significant threat due to potential lahars, volcanic mudflows that could devastate nearby communities like Puyallup and Orting. If an eruption were to occur, researchers believe they could detect it months in advance.
