Mount Mageik
Volcano in Alaska, United States
Mount Mageik is a stratovolcano on the Alaska Peninsula. It has no confirmed historical eruptions, but its youngest eruptive products are apparently Holocene in age. A young crater lies on the northeast flank of the central summit cone, and is the site of vigorous superheated fumarolic activity with prominent sulfur deposits. The volcanic cones are composed of andesite, basaltic andesite and dacite.
