Yet, more than Hawaii’s bubbling lava fields or Yellowstone’s sprawling supervolcano, it’s Mount Rainier that has many US volcanologists worried. “Mount Rainier keeps me up at night because it poses such a great threat to the surrounding communities. Mount Rainier, a snowcapped volcano, looms over Puyallup Valley near Orting, Washington. Mount St. Helens, which cataclysmically erupted in May 1980, ranked as second most hazardous before Mount Rainier in third place. USGS Cascades Volcano Observatory geophysicist Rebecca Kramer works on station PR05, part of the Mount Rainier lahar detection network.

BOGOTA, June 27 (Reuters) - Colombia's geological service said on Tuesday it would lower the activity level at the country's Nevado del Ruiz volcano to yellow, after raising it in March because of seismic activity that had made an eruption more likely. The government had raised the volcano's alert level to orange and carried out some preventative evacuations because of a surge in small earthquakes which had made the volcano less stable. "After 89 days at activity level orange ... we announce that the Nevado del Ruiz volcano has entered a period of lessened instability," the geological service said on Twitter. The Nevado del Ruiz is a stratovolcano, or composite volcano, which straddles the border between Colombia's Tolima and Caldas provinces.

The volcano's eruption in 1985 killed more than 25,000 people in Colombia's biggest-ever natural disaster, with avalanches of earth and rock fragments burying entire settlements. "It doesn't scare me because it already exploded," said Evelio Ortiz, a potato farmer who survived the 1985 eruption with his wife and five children. The Nevado del Ruiz is a stratovolcano or composite volcano.

REUTERS/John Vizcaino/BOGOTA, March 31 (Reuters) - Colombian authorities have raised the alert level for the deadly Nevado del Ruiz volcano to orange, suggesting a greater probability of an eruption in the coming days or weeks, due to an increase in seismic activity. The Nevado del Ruiz is a stratovolcano, or composite volcano, which straddles the border between Colombia's Tolima and Caldas provinces. "We have an orange alert due to the change in seismology at the Ruiz volcano. Mayors must prepare the protocols for this state of alert," President Gustavo Petro said in a Twitter message on Friday.
