Volcanoes of the Never
Summer Mountains

Carved by Ice Age glaciers, the jagged profile of the Never Summer Mountains belies its volcanic origin. Between 26 and 28 million years ago magma rose into the crust of the Earth, and cooled to give a north-south alignment to the mountains. Explosive eruptions of lava and ash then filled valley and buried nearby passes.

Today, the volcanic products of those events still cover 25 square miles of land.
