An aerial view of the summit of South Sister from the south, seen here in 1981, shows a snow-filled summit crater that seasonally contains a small melt-water lake. Fissure eruptions occurred during the Holocene from flank vents including some near Carver Lakes on the NE flank, seen here to the upper right. Photo by Willie Scott, 1981 (U.S. Geological Survey).
