Glacier Peak or Dakobed (known in the Sauk-Suiattle dialect of the Lushootseed language as "Tda-ko-buh-ba" or "Takobia" [5]) is the most isolated of the five major stratovolcanoes (composite volcanoes) of the Cascade Volcanic Arc in the U.S state of Washington.
The volcanoes with historical eruptions include: Mount Rainier, Glacier Peak, Mount Baker, Mount Hood, Lassen Peak, and Mount Shasta. Renewed volcanic activity in the Cascade Arc, such as the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, has offered a great deal of evidence about the structure of the Cascade Arc. One effect of the 1980 eruption was a ...
The dominant geologic feature of the area is 10,541-foot (3,213 m) Glacier Peak. It is the most remote major volcanic peak in the Cascade Range and is the third most heavily glaciated volcano in the lower forty-eight states behind Mount Rainier and Mount Baker. Glacier Peak is a volcanic cone of basalt, pumice, and ash which erupted during ...
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 [4] in the Cascade Volcanic Arc and the North Cascades of Washington State in the United States.
Eyjafjallajokull glacier, which sits around 75 miles east of Reykjavik, is the second highest peak in Iceland and can be seen on most trips around the southwest of the country. The summit is 1 ...

Glacier Peak, a stratovolcano that is south-southeast of Kennedy Peak, began forming in the mid-Pleistocene. [5] Kennedy Peak is composed of Quaternary andesite of the volcanic lava flows from Glacier Peak. [7] Throughout the ice age, the North Cascades were mostly covered in thick glaciers, extending to near Puget Sound.
On a clear day from the summit, other visible volcanoes in the Cascade Range include: Mount Rainier, Mount Baker, and Glacier Peak to the north, as well as Mount St. Helens to the west, all in Washington; and Mount Hood, Mount Jefferson, and the Three Sisters, all to the south in Oregon. [22] [23]
