National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Ship Rainier

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Ship Rainier is backdropped by Mount Baker, an active Cascade Range stratovolcano, in Washington. In September 2019, the Rainier conducted a bathymetric survey along Hawai‘i Island's Puna coast, where lava entered the ocean during Kīlauea Volcano's 2018 eruption.
