Data from the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution
Details for: Baker
Mount Baker, the northernmost of Washington's active volcanoes, is a glacier-clad stratovolcano that is a prominent landmark in the northern Cascade Range. Seen here from the SE above Baker Lake, Baker was observed in eruption from a Spanish exploring vessel in 1792. Historical eruptions have originated from Sherman Crater, the dark area to the left of the summit. Minor phreatic explosions were observed during the 19th century by early settlers in the Puget Sound area as far away as Victoria, British Columbia.
