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 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.
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 ...
Mazama Ash had a minimum fallout area of 350,000 square miles (900,000 km 2), while ash from northwestern Washington's Glacier Peak volcano, known as Glacier Peak Ash, encompassed an area of more than 100,000 square miles (260,000 km 2). Mazama Ash is found at a higher layer than the Glacier Peak ash, estimated to have deposited over 13,000 ...
It is one of six volcanic systems located under Europe's biggest glacier Vatnajokull. In the event of a subglacial eruption, there is a risk of an ash eruption and subglacial flooding from under ...
This is the largest glacial valley on the volcano, although it does not now have a glacier in it. There are seven named glaciers on Mount Shasta, with the four largest ( Whitney , Bolam , Hotlum , and Wintun ) radiating down from high on the main summit cone to below 10,000 ft (3,000 m) primarily on the north and east sides.

A volcano on the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland flared again late Wednesday night, marking the region's seventh eruption in just one year. Lava burst from a crack in the ground before midnight ...
Iliamna Volcano, or Mount Iliamna (Dena'ina: Ch’naqał’in; Sugpiaq: Puyulek), is a glacier-covered stratovolcano in the largely volcanic Aleutian Range in southwest Alaska. Located in the Chigmit Mountain subrange in Lake Clark National Park and Preserve , the 10,016-foot (3,053 m) volcano lies approximately 134 miles (215 km) southwest of ...
