The east side of Mount Baker in 2001. Sherman Crater is the deep depression south of the summit. Mount Baker (Nooksack: Kweq' Smánit; Lushootseed: təqʷubəʔ), [9] also known as Koma Kulshan or simply Kulshan, is a 10,781 ft (3,286 m) active [10] glacier-covered andesitic stratovolcano [5] in the Cascade Volcanic Arc and the North Cascades of Washington State in the United States.
Öræfajökull (Icelandic pronunciation: [ˈœːrˌaiːvaˌjœːkʏtl̥] ⓘ; 'Öræfi glacier' or 'wasteland glacier') is an ice-covered volcano in south-east Iceland. The largest active volcano and the highest peak in Iceland at 2,110 metres (6,920 ft), it lies within the Vatnajökull National Park and is covered by part of the glacier.
Eruptions appear to follow a cycle: there were several eruptions in the glacier between 1701 and 1740 and since 1780. (Part of the East volcanic zone (EVZ)) 1702 - in Vatnajökull. (Part of the East volcanic zone (EVZ)) 1706 - in Vatnajökull. (Part of the East volcanic zone (EVZ)) 1711-12 - Kverkfjöll; 1716 - in Vatnajökull.
About 13,000 years ago, Glacier Peak generated an unusually strong sequence of eruptions depositing volcanic ash as far away as Wyoming. [21] These eruptions were some of the largest to occur in Washington state in the last 15,000 years, with one of them being a staggering 5 times larger than the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens.
It is the 25th most prominent peak in the United States. [1] [2] [4] The volcano's glaciers have extensively altered its profile, cutting, deep and creating steep cliffs and cirques. [5] A ridge extends 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) south from the main body of the mountain, with North Twin and South Twin peaks along its length.
Westlife's official music video for their twenty-fifth single top 10 and #2 UK hit in 2009 "What About Now" is the last film of Vatnajökull Glacier before the subsequent volcanic eruption. [14] In November 2011, the glacier was used as a shooting location for the second season of the HBO fantasy TV series Game of Thrones. [15]
