Fog over Spray Park in Mount Rainier National Park with Glacier Peak in the background, Washington, USA (@ Stephen Matera)

comments,

• There\s no doubt this is a truly spectacular scene.""But have you seen what\s hiding below?
• It takes most climbers two days to reach the epic peak that gives this park its name.""Who recently conquered it in a record-breaking time?
• Once the fog has lifted around here, you may well come across a uniquely annoying local pest.""How irritating can they possibly be?
• We\re at the summit of a massive stratovolcano, which has a highest elevation of 4,392m.""Where can you expect an average of five eruptions every month?
