  • Several seabirds fly over the Atlantic Ocean as the last light of day illuminates Snæfellsjökull, a glacier-covered stratovolcano in western Iceland. Located on the Snæfellsnes peninsula, Snæfellsjökull is 1,446 meters (4,744 feet) tall. Stratovolcanoes, also known as composite volcanoes, are typically cone-shaped and made up of many layers from many volcanic eruptions. Snæfellsjökull is approximately 700,000 years old and is estimated to have last erupted in 200 A.D. Snæfellsjökull is an Icelandic word meaning "snowy mountain glacier."

  • The last light of day illuminates Snæfellsjökull, a 1,446 meter (4,744 foot) stratovolcano located in western Iceland. The volcano, which is active, last erupted approximately 1,800 years ago, creating lava fields at its base. The mountain is technically named Snæfell; Snæfellsjökull is the name of the glacier at its peak. It is commonly called Snæfellsjökull, however, to avoid confusing it with several other mountains with the same name. Snæfellsjökull means "snow glacier mountain," and it was featured in the 1864 novel "A Journey to the Center of the Earth" by Jules Verne.

  • The horseshoe-shaped crater of Mount St. Helens is visible in this aerial view of the Washington state volcano. During the May 18, 1980 eruption, the north face of the volcano collapsed. Since then, new lava domes have formed in the crater and are visible here. Mount St. Helens now stands ‎8,363 feet (2,549 meters), losing about 13 percent of its summit in the 1980 eruption. It is the most active volcano in the Cascade Range during the Holocene epoch (past 10,000 years).

  • At sunrise, Mount Rainier casts its own shadow on a layer of cirrostratus clouds in this view from Bonney Lake, Washington. The mountain is also capped by a lenticular cloud. Mount Rainier, the highest peak in Washington state and the tallest volcano in the Cascade Mountain Range, has a summit elevation of 14,411 feet (4,392 meters).

  • A lenticular cloud caps the summit of Mount Rainier at sunrise in this view from Bonney Lake, Washington. Lenticular clouds form when moist air is forced up and over mountains or other large obstructions. Higher, cirrostratus turn red in the first light of day. Mount Rainier, the highest peak in Washington state and the tallest volcano in the Cascade Mountain Range, has a summit elevation of 14,411 feet (4,392 meters).

  • A fiery winter sunrise colors the sky surrounding Mount Rainier, the tallest mountain in Washington state. At right, Mount Rainier, with a summit elevation of 14,411 feet (4,392 meters), casts its own shadow on the sky, a phenomenon that occurs when the sky is covered by mid-altitude clouds around the time of the winter solstice. At left, smaller peaks do the same, resulting in bands of light known as crepuscular rays.

  • Mount Baker, a volcano located in the North Cascades of Washington state, is bathed in the blue color of twilight in this view from Artist Point. Mount Baker, at 10,781 feet (3,286 meters), is the third largest volcano in Washington state and last erupted in 1880. The crescent moon is visible high in the sky.

  • A group of harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) rest on the eastern tip of Protection Island National Wildlife Refuge in Jefferson County, Washington, as Mount Baker towers in the background.  Protection Island, located at the mouth of Discovery Bay in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, is a 364-acre island that serves as pupping grounds for hundreds of harbor seals. Mount Baker is a 10,781 foot (3,286 meter) volcano that is part of the Cascade Mountain Range.

  • Mount Baker, a 10,781 foot (3,286 meter) volcano located in Whatcom County, Washington state, towers above the trees and morning fog near Artist Point in the North Cascades. Mount Baker, which is part of the Cascade Range of mountains, has the second-most thermally active crater in the range, second only to Mount St. Helens. Baker's volcanic cone is relatively young, possibly less than 100,000 years old, even though the area where it sits has been volcanically active for 1.5 million years.

  • Six snow geese (Chen caerulescens) appear to fly over Mount Baker, a 10,781 foot (3,286 meter) volcano in Washington state. Tens of thousands of snow geese winter in the Skagit Valley of Washington state, feeding on leftovers in farmers' fields.

  • A very large flock of snow geese (Chen caerulescens) fly over the Skagit Valley of Washington state with Mount Baker in the background. Tens of thousands of snow geese winter in the Skagit Valley, feeding in farmers' fields. They breed during the summer months on the upper reaches of Alaska, Canada, Greenland and Siberia. Mount Baker, which has an elevation of 10,781 feet (3,286 meters), has the second-most thermally active crater of any volcano in the Cascade Range.
