		Mount Warning is a mountain in New South Wales, Australia, near the border with Queensland.
		The name Mount Warning was given to the mountain in 1770 by Captain James Cook, as its distinct profile served as a warning to the dangerous Julian Rocks two kilometers offshore.
		Mount Warning is the central remnant of an ancient volcano formerly twice the height of the current mountain, which erupted over 22 million years ago.

	The Sudden Disappearance of Mount Katmai, Alaska Science Forum
		Mount Katmai was a handsome mountain with three peaks poking more than 7,000 feet into the moist air of the Alaska Peninsula on June 5th, 1912.
		Mount Katmai¹s transformation from mountain to crater lake is still a mystery to scientists because it imploded rather than exploded.
		Researchers first thought that Mount Katmai was the source for most of the ash and rock that covers the valley.

		Syneruptive caldera collapse at Mount Katmai, 10 km east of the eruption site, and displacements elsewhere in the magmatic plumbing system generated 14 earthquakes in the magnitude range Ms 6 to 7 (extraordinarily energetic for volcanic seismicity) and as many as 100 greater than Ms 5.
		The caldera-forming or climactic eruption of Mount Mazama drastically changed the landscape all around the volcano and spread a blanket of volcanic ash at least as far away as southern Canada.
		Lahars at Mount Rainier can be classed in 3 groups according to their genesis: (1) flank collapse of hydrothermally altered, water-saturated rock; (2) eruption-related release of water and loose debris; and (3) hydrologic release of water and debris (Scott et al., 1985).

		Mount McKinley, the highest mountain in North America at 20,320 feet, is at the heart of Denali National Park and Preserve.
		Mount McKinley is primarily made of granite, which is very hard and resists weathering much better than its sedimentary (shale, limestone and sandstone) neighbors.
		During the birth of Mount McKinley 56 million years ago when molten magma solidified deep beneath central Alaska, volcanic activity (eruptions at the surface) was also occurring in the park, and produced red, yellow and brown basalts, rhyolites, and other volcanic rocks.

		The Aniakchak Crater Zone, which was "possibly 20 miles square," was nominated because it was "one of several recently active volcanoes on the Alaska Peninsula and Aleutian Chain which possess symmetrical beauty and possibly other values warranting conservation and/or interpretation." [1]
		He mentioned the Aniakchak area in his report, but suggested that it be considered for parkland "at some future date." Allin also suggested that NPS officials pay "early attention" to the Service's two landmark programs.
		The consultant found that "From no viewpoint is Aniakchak unimpressive," and it stated that the crater "is recognized by geologists as an outstanding feature, unmatched in many ways, by volcanic phenomena of far greater renown." The report's recommendations were quickly seconded by Interior Department officials.
