Alney volcano

 

Alney summit viewed from the west. The volcano is sitting on a dissected old volcanic massif. The massif is ice- and snow-clad, so little is known about the structure of its younger part. The summit resembles a lava dome. A number of tephra layers at the volcano's foot likely originated from Alney or from some smaller center(s) in its area, which now are covered with snow.
