Fourpeaked volcano to the upper left is one of a group of volcanoes NE of Katmai National Park, beyond the 2.5-km-wide Kaguyak caldera in the foreground. Much of the surface is hidden beneath Fourpeaked Glacier; the few exposed outcrops are lava flows interlayered with volcanic agglomerate. Deposits near the summit are extensively hydrothermally altered. Photo by Chris Nye (Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys, Alaska Volcano Observatory).
