  Medicine Lake
The Medicine Lake shield volcano is the largest volume volcano in the Cascade range (Ritter and Evans, 1997).
But the Medicine Lake shield volcano has broad, gentle slopes built from the eruption of basalt that flows easily across the ground while Mt. Shasta is a stratovolcano, also called a composite volcano, formed by alternating layers of pyroclastics and lava that have accumulated over thousands of years to form a tall cone.
Lava flows from the Medicine Lake volcano cover an area of approximately 2000 km2, approximately 40 km east to west and 50 north to south (Ritter and Evans, 1997).

Lavas from Medicine Lake Volcano are estimated to be at least 600 cubic km in volume, making Medicine Lake the largest volcano by volume in the Cascade Range (nearby Mount Shasta has the second highest volume).
Medicine Lake caldera is a 7 by 12 km depression (4.3 by 7.4 mile) in the summit area of the volcano that may have formed by collapse after a large volume of andesite was erupted from vents along the caldera rim.
