Scientists have recently completed a project that mapped the magma reserves beneath Washington's Mount Rainier. A team of researchers from Norway and the United States worked together using special seismic imaging technology combined with knowledge of the Earth's magnetic fields to not only estimate the size of the reserve but also to predict the path the lava might travel when it next comes pouring down the mountain side.
