Background

Pelican Butte, one of the largest volcanoes between Crater Lake and Mount Shasta, is a late Pleistocene andesitic shield volcano. Located slightly east of the Cascade Range crest, Pelican Butte is cut by a broad cirque on the NE side and is probably no younger than about 60,000 years before present (Smith, in Wood and Kienle 1990).

Stop Russia's Agression - Support Ukraine

Significant parts of this website use brilliant open-source software developed by Ukrainians. Russia's unprovoked war has killed tens of thousands, displaced millions, and the beautiful country of Ukraine is being destroyed. We cannot be silent even if the topic of this website has nothing to do with politics.
If you like to support Ukraine from abroad:
Ukrainians recommend the Come Back Alive charity. For other options, see StandWithUkraine.
