Mount Cleveland


Chuginadak Island, Alaska (AK), US
Mount Cleveland is a mountain that forms the western half of Chuginadak Island in the central Aleutian Islands of Alaska. This symmetrical stratovolcano is one of the most active of the volcanoes in the Aleutians and has been the site of numerous eruptions in the last two centuries; the most recent eruption occurred in 1994, although it has spewed numerous clouds of ash since then, most recently on May 23, 2006. In 1944, a U.S. Army serviceman was reportedly killed by an eruption from Mount Cleveland, the only known eruption-related fatality in the Aleutian Islands.

At an elevation of 5,676 feet (1,730 m), this volcano is the highest in the Islands of Four Mountains group. (Wikipedia.com)
