Mount Okmok

Volcano on eastern Umnak Island in the central-eastern Aleutian Islands of Alaska

Mount Okmok is a volcano on eastern Umnak Island, in the central-eastern Aleutian Islands of Alaska. Part of the Aleutian Volcanic Arc, it was formed by the subduction of the oceanic Pacific Plate under the North American Plate. Okmok is a large shield volcano capped by a 10-kilometer (6.2 mi) wide caldera. The caldera contains numerous cinder cones, their lava flows, and a few lakes.
