The nearly full moon is visible between layers of storm clouds over Mount Baker, an active volcano in the North Cascades of Washington state. Mount Baker, 10,781 feet (3,286 meters) tall, last erupted in 1880. In this image, its summit is obscured by a cap cloud, a type of cloud that forms when moist air is forced up and over a mountaintop. This scene was captured from an area of the North Cascades known as Artist Point.
