Cold Bay Volcano, Stratovolcano in Alaska Peninsula, United States.
The steep volcano rises to 6,299 feet with multiple layers of lava and tephra forming its conical structure at the southwest end of Alaska Peninsula.
The volcano formed during the Pleistocene period through numerous eruptions, creating a double cone structure with the southern part established before Wisconsin Glaciation.
Native communities near Cold Bay developed methods to monitor volcanic activity through generations of observation and experience with the mountain's patterns.
Access to Cold Bay Volcano requires transportation by air taxi or boat, as the location remains distant from regular road networks.
The volcanic complex includes Morzhovoi Volcano on its northern flank, featuring a collapsed caldera with peaks known as North and South Walrus.
