A picturesque volcano, Mount Baker steaming is ‘mostly’ hot water, says UVic prof
Seasonal steam rising from Mount Baker is a reminder to residents that the picturesque mountain across the border is among the Cascade volcanoes.
“It’s mostly hot water,” explained Dante Canil a professor in the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences at the University of Victoria. “A lot like a hot spring,” Canil said. “It also depends on the air above it whether you see the steam.” “Of all the nearby volcanoes, it would be the least concerning,” Canil said, noting Mount St. Helens, dubbed a frequent erupter, would be a far more likely culprit.
