  • Thick fog covers a high mountain valley that reaches up to Mount Baker, a 10,781 foot (3,286 meter) volcano located in the North Cascades of Washington state. Valley fog, which is a type of radiation fog, can be incredible dense. It forms when air along ridgetops and mountain slopes cools after sunset. The air then becomes dense and sinks into the valley below where it continues to cool and becomes saturated, causing fog to form.

  • Thick fog seems to originate from the volcanic cone of Wizard Island, located in Crater Lake, Oregon. Crater Lake, the deepest fresh water lake in North America, is located in a caldera at the top of what was once Mount Mazama. A massive eruption around 5,700 B.C. caused the mountain to collapse. While the Wizard Island cone is long dormant, there is some hydrothermal activity at the bottom of Crater Lake, suggesting the mountain is still active.
