Mount Rainier is an active stratovolcano 45 miles southeast of Tacoma and 60 miles south-southeast of Seattle. Its last eruption was "a light dusting of ash" in 1894, the USGS said in a report. Large eruptions haven't occurred for more than 1,000 years.

The U.S. Geological Survey said it and other agencies were monitoring the situation and would issue additional alerts "as needed."

According to New Hampshire Fish and Game, just after 1 P.M., they recieved a report from a group of hikers who say they witnessed a man fall around 60 feet in the vicinity of Pinnacle Buttress.

I just made a mistake on a move towards the end which caused my feet to slip and fall,” Lukas Lamb-Wotton told the Globe after he was airlifted to a hospital with potentially life-threatening injuries.

A rock climber was rescued by a New Hampshire Army National Guard helicopter after falling about 60 feet on Mount Washington, authorities said.

As the last bits of snow on Mount Washington melt away in early summer, they’re providing more for the alpine ecosystem than their soggy remnants may suggest.
