Vulcão Monte Rainier

Segundo muitas avaliações, o vulcão mais perigoso dos Estados Unidos: um estratovulcão coberto de gelo visível de Seattle e Tacoma. A principal ameaça não é a lava, mas os lahares; antigos fluxos de lama chegaram a terrenos onde hoje vivem dezenas de milhares de pessoas, e os vales em baixo têm sirenes de alerta e rotas de evacuação.
