Mount Recheschnoi on Umnak Island has been extensively eroded by glaciers. This 1985 view from the SW shows the NE-SW-trending summit ridge, which is contains deep valleys. Holocene cones and lava domes are on the E and W flanks, and a large thermal area including hot springs and a geyser is on the NE flank.
