Mt Cleveland

Wallpaper Description:

Cleveland Volcano, known to the Alaska Volcano Observatory as Cleveland,[5] and often known as Mount Cleveland, is an active stratovolcano that forms the western half of Chuginadak Island in the central Aleutian Islands of Alaska. Chuginadak is the native Aleut language name for the volcano, named after the traditional Aleut goddess of fire.[6] Its current name was the name it was given on page 75 of the 1944 Aleutian Coast Pilot.[7] Cleveland, a symmetrical volcano, is one of the most active of the volcanoes in the Aleutian Islands[2] and has been the site of numerous eruptions in the last two centuries; the most recent eruptive event was a brief, explosive ash emission on January 2, 2009, that reached a height of 20,000 feet (6 km) before drifting east-southeast about 150 miles (241 km) and dispersing over the North Pacific Ocean.[8] 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), Cleveland is the highest volcano in the Islands of Four Mountains group. Carlisle Island to the north-northwest, another stratovolcano, is also part of this group. Magma that feeds eruptions of ash and lava from Cleveland is generated by the northwestward movement of the Pacific Plate beneath the North American Plate
