Our NW volcanoes regularly rumble. But when should we start to worry?
Mount Adams has been a little more active than usual lately. That’s according to researchers with the United States Geological Survey.
Now, it’s not uncommon for our northwest volcanoes to shake things up a bit. But Adams tends to be one of the sleepier “chill” giants... until now. So what’s the deal?
To dig into what these seismic shenanigans mean– and hopefully set all of our minds at ease – Soundside was joined by Alex Iezzi. Iezzi is a research geophysicist with the US Geological Survey’s Cascade Volcano Observatory.
