Pacific ring of fire - a photo on Flickriver

Pacific ring of fire

Mt.Rainier, Mt Helens, Mt Adams and Mt.Hood are all part of Pacific ring of fire, the ring of volcanoes and associated mountains around the Pacific Ocean.

# Mount Rainier (southeast of Tacoma, Washington) — highest peak in the Cascades, it dominates the surrounding landscape. There is no other higher peak northward until the Yukon-Alaska-BC border apex beyond the Alsek River.

# Mount St. Helens (southern Washington) — Erupted in 1980, leveling forests to the north of the mountain and sending ash across the northwest. The northern part of the mountain was destroyed in the blast (1980 Mount St. Helens eruption).

# Mount Adams (east of Mount St. Helens) — the second highest peak in Washington and third highest in the Cascade Range. Mount Adams (3,742 m/12,276 ft) is a towering stratovolcano some 50 kilometers due east of Mount St. Helens is marked by a dozen glaciers, most of which are fed radially from its summit icecap. In the High Cascades, Mount Adams is second in eruptive volume only to Mount Shasta, and it far surpasses its loftier neighbor Mount Rainier.

# Mount Hood (northern Oregon) — the highest peak in Oregon and arguably the most frequently climbed major peak in the Cascades.
