Our group.

View to south over lakes, Red Crater in background. Lighter areas on cone reflect presence of gas vents.

Steep sides of this blast cone are evident.

Moving out across the central crater. The snow patch here is the same snow patch seen in this picture above.

View across Central Crater to North Crater. This crater is filled to the brim with a crystallized lava lake.

Snow remains in the shadow of this lava flow.

View south across central crater back toward Red Crater's cone. The trail we followed is plainly visible on the left. Note people on trail for scale. Where the trail crosses a snowbank is where the photograph immediately above was taken.

Another view across to Red Crater cone in distance. The extent of the flow is very clear here. The photograph was taken well above the main crater floor, from a vantage point near Blue Lake. Hit your browser's back button to return to this page.
