Massive Mount Shasta, the largest-volume volcano of the Cascade Range in northern California. It is seen here from the north, with Hotlum cone forming the summit and Shastina on the western flank. It is composed of at least four main edifices, of which the last two, Hotlum and Shastina, are of Holocene age. Photo by Lee Siebert, 1998 (Smithsonian Institution).
