Image GVP-08535

Atmospheric clouds obscure the summit of Devils Desk, an extensively eroded stratovolcano in the NE part of Katmai National Park.  The volcano, which rises 450 m above the top of Hook Glacier, is the eroded neck of a former stratovolcano, most of which has been removed.  The age of the volcano is not known precisely, but a Potassium-Argon date of about 245,000 years was obtained. Photo by Betsy Yount, 1983 (Alaska Volcano Observatory, U.S. Geological Survey).
