Scientists are on high alert after a series of earthquakes struck Mount Adams, the largest active volcano in Washington state.
The volcano, known for its potential to trigger landslides and mudflows, has shown increased seismic activity with nine small earthquakes detected last year.
While experts stress these tremors are likely normal, the volcano remains a significant threat.
New monitoring stations have been installed to closely track its activity.
Though Mount Adams hasn’t erupted in over a thousand years, experts say an eruption is inevitable, though the timing remains uncertain.
