  • Lassen Peak, a 10,457-foot (3,187-meter) volcano, in the Cascade Range in California, is lit by the first light of day in this aerial view over Lassen Volcanic National Park. Lassen Peak, also known as Mount Lassen, is an active volcano that last erupted in 1917. The area, however, is still volcanically active with hot springs, geysers and boiling mud pots. Lassen Peak itself stands near Mount Tehama, which was a stratovolcano that was once at least 1,000 feet taller than Lassen Peak is now. Mount Tehama is now known as Brokeoff Mountain, and is visible to the left of Lassen Peak in this image.

  • A boiling mudpot erupts at Sulphur Works in Lassen Volcanic National Park, California. Water from melting snow seeps into the ground above this mudpot, soaks through the soil and works down through cracks and fissures in the rock. Eventually, it touches hot rock and gasses in what used to be the main vent of Brokeoff Volcano, becomes superheated and returns to the surface as hot water or steam.

  • A long exposure shows the action of a boiling mudpot at Sulphur Works in Lassen Volcanic National Park, California. Water from melting snow seeps into the ground above this mudpot, soaks through the soil and works down through cracks and fissures in the rock. Eventually, it touches hot rock and gasses in what used to be the main vent of Brokeoff Volcano, becomes superheated and returns to the surface as hot water or steam.

  • A colorful hillside shows the volcanic activity near Bumpass Hell in Lassen Volcanic National Park, California. The colors are the result of sulfuric acid diluted by rain and snowmelt. This weakened acid causes the volcanic rock to decompose at varying rates.

  • Green moss grows on all but the bottom portion of these trees near Summit Lake in Lassen Volcanic National Park, California. The moss line, which begins about 10-15 feet from the base of the trees illustrates the depth of the winter snow here.

  • Lassen Peak, a 10,462 foot (3,189 meter) volcano, is reflected in the Paradise Meadow in Lassen Volcanic National Park, California. Lassen Peak is the southernmost volcano in the Cascade Range and last erupted between 1914 and 1917. Numerous common monkeyflowers (Mimulus guttatus) are in bloom in the meadow.

  • Subway Cave, located in Lassen National Forest, California, was formed 30,000 years ago by a lava flow in the Hat Creek Valley. During the flow, the top cooled and formed a hard crust while allowing hot lava to continue to flow underneath. Eventually, the lava stopped flowing, leaving behind this shell. Subway Cave is about a third of a mile (half a kilometer) in length.

  • Brittlebush (Encelia farinosa) grows in a dry valley on the eastern side of Lassen Volcanic National Park, California. The wildflower typically blooms from March until May and is common in the Mojave and Colorado deserts as well as dry interior valleys in California.

  • The annular solar eclipse of May 20, 2012 reaches its peak in this view from Lassen Volcanic National Park in California. The Moon's distance from Earth varies, and annular solar eclipses occur when the Moon is relatively far from Earth. The Moon appears smaller in the sky and therefore is not able to block the entire Sun. At the peak of this eclipse, the Moon blocked 95 percent of the Sun.

  • A shape resembling a volcano is visible on the wall of Subway Cave, a lava tube formed 30,000 years ago in California's Hat Creek Valley. The tube itself was formed when the top portion of the lava flow cooled to a hard crust while allowing hot lava to flow underneath. Eventually, the lava flow stopped, leaving behind the shell. This formation resulted from hot lava dripping from the ceiling of the tube.

  • A composite of six images shows the progression of the annular solar eclipse of May 20, 2012 as viewed from Lassen Volcanic National Park in California. The Moon's distance from Earth varies, and annular solar eclipses occur when the Moon is relatively far from Earth. The Moon appears smaller in the sky and therefore is not able to block the entire Sun. At the peak of this eclipse, the Moon blocked 95 percent of the Sun. This image sequence begins at the top left. The black marks on some of the Sun images are sunspots.
