The Many Craters of Lassen Peak

Lassen Peak, November 10, 1914

When Lassen Peak had it initial eruptions in the spring of 1914, it created an initial crater 25 feet wide and 44 feet long. For the remainder of the year, there would be over hundred eruptions, constantly reconfiguring the crater. That would change dramatically on May 22, 1915 when the peak had its cataclysmic eruption.
