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.
