Beschreibung:
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.
