After a silence, Mount Baker in Washington 125-ye- ar is clearing its massive throat. Steam has been boiling out of its Sherman Crater since last March, the National Geographic Society says. By July, thousands of openings called fumaroles had burned through the surrounding rock, adding their 1,600-foot-wi- ' steam to the cloud obscuring the mountain's 10.778 foot peak. Scientists observing the reactivated volcano say this could be the prelude to a major eruption. But Dr. Dwight K. Crandall of the Geological Survey admits that the observers simply don't know what will happen next. GLACIOMIGIST Dr. Mark Meier sees danger in a lake that has formed as the steam melts an ice cavern in the crater. If the ice wall containing the lake collapses, he explains, it would send floods of debris-lade- n water down the slope and could trigger avalanches. The Cascade Mountain Range running through Washington, Oregon, and northern California contains other volcanoes capable of flaring into renewed activity, according to a report by the Geological Survey. The report notes that active vol canoes in both Alaska and Hawaii also hold the potential for future eruptions. Mount Saint Helens and Lassen Peak, also in the Cascades, last erupted a little more than a century ago. Drs. Donal R. Mulli-neau- x and Meyer Rubin, along with Dr. Crandall, D recently surveyed Mount Saint Helens, and they predict it will explode again within the next few decades. active in but the geologists say IT LAST WAS 1857, 003 o)r(g the mountains 37,000-yea- r history establishes it as the most active volcano in the continental United States. They note that while the 9,677-fopeak may remain dormant for up to five centuries, its record shows the mountain usually blows its top at least once in every 100 or 200 years. Hawaii has five volcanoes, but little danger is foreseen from Kohala or Mauna Kea, neither of which has erupted in thousands of years. Elsewhere on Hawaii, Kilauea belched smoke and white-hrock for some six hours last December, sending streams of molten lava coursing more than seven miles down its side. But potentially the most dangerous of Hawaiis volcanoes is Mauna Loa. There have been several huge lava flows from the 13,680-fomountain in modern times.
