Jefferson Volcano, USA

Sharp-topped Mount Jefferson stratovolcano has been inactive since the late Pleistocene and shows the effect of extensive dissection by glacial erosion.

The Jefferson Park Glacier on the north flank in the foreground and the Whitewater Glacier on the east flank are the two largest on Jefferson.
