Images related to Lassen Volcanic Center.
A second view of Lassen Peak and the Deveastated Area following an explosive eruption and mudflowk. The crater of the volcano is visible, revealing that a lava dome which had previously been growing there was destroyed by the explosion. Subsequently, a lava flow began refilling the crater, and was mistakenly thought to have created the mudflow.
