PyrePeak.jpg
The snow-dappled slopes of Pyre Peak are seen from near the western tip of Seguam Island. The elliptical, 11.5 x 24 km island contains two calderas, each with a Holocene central volcano. A third Holocene cone lies at the eastern end of the island. Pyre Peak was constructed within the 3-km-wide westernmost caldera. The 1054-m-high cone rises 1 km above the caldera floor and has been the source of most of the historical eruptions of Seguam volcano.

Here lava from the Uinkaret volcanic field slops down into the Grand Canyon from its north rim. On the right is Lava Falls, with Vulcan's Throne at the top. The throne is about 73,000 years old. These are among the most recent features of the Grand Canyon. The topmost or newest layers over which the lava flowed — Kaibab Limestone — was laid down in early Permian time, around 290 million years ago. All the rocks below are older, on down to the Vishnu group at the bottom of the canyon, around 1.7 billion years old.

Tumble Buttes.jpg
N-S-trending chain of vents extending across the center of the photo forms Tumble Buttes, a young volcanic field north of Lassen Volcanic National Park. A large area of unvegetated lava flows at the left margin originated from Bear Wallow Butte at the southern end of the chain. Other young unvegetated flows form the Devils Rock Garden at right-center, below Crater Mountain, the prominent snow-dappled peak on the horizon. This view looks to the NW across the Hat Creek valley from West Prospect Mountain.

Brushy Butte.jpg
The broad inconspicuous volcano in the center of the photo is Brushy Butte, a small shield volcano SSE of the Medicine Lake Highlands. The Brushy Butte complex has produced a broad apron of basaltic lava flows, seen here from Timbered Crater with the Big Valley Mountain fault scarp in the background. Fresh-looking flows extend preferentially down the regional gradient to the south as far as the Falls River valley, but the age of Brushy Butte is not well known. The volcano may be of late-Pleistocene or early Holocene age.

Kagamil.jpg
The southern half of 5 x 10 km Kagamil Island in the NE part of the "Islands of Four Mountains" group contains two undissected cones of postglacial age with small summit craters. The larger, 893-m-high cone (center) is seen here from the SW and is located at the SE end of the NNW-SSE-trending volcano. Hot springs and fumaroles occur near the SE coast. The early explorer Veniaminof indicated that Kagamil, also known as Kigamiljach, formerly "flamed and smoked," but the only eruptive report is of unspecified activity in 1929.

Shoshone lava field.jpg
One of a series of interlocking craters forming the complex summit of Black Butte, the vent of the Shoshone lava field, is seen here from the summit of the butte. The broad, low Shoshone shield volcano fed voluminous lava flows that traveled a small distance north towards the Mount Bennett Hills in the background, but the bulk of the flows traveled initially south and then west for a total distance of 60 km. The Shoshone lava field, erupted about 10,000 years ago, is the westernmost of the young volcanic fields of the Snake River Plain.

MountCleveland.jpg
From the USGS caption: Mount Cleveland forms the western half of Chuginadak Island in the central Aleutian Islands. This symmetrical, 1,730-m (5,676 ft)-high stratovolcano and has been the site of numerous eruptions in the last two centuries; the most recent eruption occurred in 1994. In 1944, a U.S. Army serviceman was reportedly killed by an eruption from Mount Cleveland.
From the USGS caption: Mount Cleveland forms the western half of Chuginadak Island in the central Aleutian Islands. This symmetrical, 1,730-m (5,676 ft)-high stratovolcano and has been the site of numerous eruptions in the last two centuries; the most recent eruption occurred in 1994. In 1944, a U.S. Army serviceman was reportedly killed by an eruption from Mount Cleveland.

MountGriggs.jpg
Mount Griggs volcano, 2,317-m (7,602 ft)-high, here seen from the west rim of Katmai caldera, lies 10 km (6 mi) behind the volcanic arc defined by other Katmai group volcanoes. Although no historic eruptions have been reported from Mount Griggs, vigorously active fumaroles persist in a summit crater and along the upper southwest flank. The slopes of Mount Griggs are heavily mantled by fallout from the 1912 eruption of Novarupta volcano. View is to the northwest.

Scattered flat-lying basaltic lava flows with fresh pahoehoe surfaces occur near Tlevak Strait (lower right) and on the SW end of Suemez Island. The largest area of Quaternary basaltic rocks is located north of Trocadero Bay, the large embayment on the southern side of Suemez Island. Outcrops are located on western Prince of Wales Island (on the roughly rectangular peninsula NE of the northernmost point on Dall Island) and on nearby islands in Tlevak Strait. Quaternary basaltic rocks also occur along Bobs Bay on the NW side of Dall Island.

LittleSitkinVolcano.jpg
Snow-covered Little Sitkin volcano rises beyond Williwaw Cove on the NW side of the island. The sharp-topped unnamed peak at the left is part of the Williwaw Cove Formation, consisting of Tertiary to Quaternary lava flows. Two nested calderas lie between this peak and historically active Little Sitkin; the younger of these may be of early Holocene age. The older Pleistocene caldera, whose low rim lies just beyond the thin cloud bank in the center, may have once contained a caldera lake.

RoundtopVolcano.jpg
The flat-topped, glacier-covered Roundtop volcano, rising to the west beyond buildings of the village of False Pass, is the easternmost and lowest of an E-W-trending line of volcanoes on Unimak Island. Roundtop has produced Holocene pyroclastic flows, and a group of lava domes was constructed south of the volcano. No historical eruptions are known from the 1871-m-high stratovolcano. In the 1930s warm springs were found on its slopes.

The ridge in the right foreground is the eroded rim of a 4-km-wide caldera inside which the conical South Pagan volcano (left) was constructed. The elongated summit of South Pagan is cut by four craters. Eruptions of South Pagan volcano occurred during the 19th century, but it has been much less active than North Pagan volcano, the peak at the far center on the NE tip of the island.

BogoslofIsland.jpg
Aerial view, looking south, of Bogoslof Island, which is the summit of a largely submarine stratovolcano located in the Bering Sea 50 km (31 mi) behind the main Aleutian volcanic arc. The island is about 1.5x0.6 km (1x.4 mi) and, due to energetic wave action and frequent eruptive activity, it has changed shape dramatically since first mapped in the late 1700s. Its most recent eruption, in 1992, produced the conical, rubbly lava dome (150 m [492 ft] high)and offshore spire at bottom center.

Ingakslugwat Hills.jpg
This relatively featureless area in this NASA Landsant image (with north to the top) of the Yukon-Kuskokwin delta contains part of the Ingakslugwat Hills volcanic field. This monogentic volcanic field consists of at least 32 small cinder cones and 8 larger craters covering an area of more than 500 sq km. Numerous small spatter cones and cinder cones dot the NW side of the volcanic field. The latest activity was considered to have occurred during the Holocene. One low cone containing a 400-m-wide lake may be a maar.

West Crater LeeSiebert 107020.jpg
West Crater is a little-known Quaternary volcanic field in the southern Cascades of Washington between Mount St. Helens and Mount Hood. West Crater itself, seen here from the NE, is an andesitic dome with two small lava flows, one of which forms the bare area at the right center. The 290-m-high dome was formed about 8060 years ago on the floor of a cirque carved into older Tertiary volcanic rocks. The West Crater volcanic field consists of a series of small shield volcanoes and cinder cones along a NW-SE zone.
