- The Mount Adams, Washington's largest volcano, has recently shown a surge in seismic activity after remaining largely dormant for thousands of years.
- Mount Adams has produced four lava flows within the last 12,000 years.
- The biggest concern is the possibility of lahars—mudflows composed of rock, ash, and ice.
- Notably, past lahars from Mount Adams reached considerable distances about 6,000 and 300 years ago.
- Due to the potential risks of these mudflows, Mount Adams is classified as a “high-threat” volcano.
