REPORT:
Is Glacier Peak a Dangerous Volcano?

-- L.G. Mastin and R.B. Waitt, 1995,
Is Glacier Peak a Dangerous Volcano?: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 95-413, 4p.

Glacier Peak is not prominently visible from any major metropolitan centers, and so its attractions, as well as its hazards, tend to be overlooked. Yet, Glacier Peak has produced larger and more explosive eruptions than any other Washington volcano except Mount St. Helens. In the past 14,000 years, Glacier Peak has erupted at least a dozen times, most recently around the eighteenth century. -- Mastin and Waitt, 1995
