Mount Wrangell, Active stratovolcano in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Alaska, United States.
Mount Wrangell rises 14,163 feet above sea level, featuring a 4 by 6 kilometer ice-filled summit caldera and three geothermally active craters.
The volcano experienced its last confirmed eruption approximately 2000 years ago, with earlier periodic volcanic activity documented through geological evidence.
The Ahtna people named the volcano K'elt'aeni, meaning 'the one who controls the weather', reflecting their deep connection to the natural formation.
Access to Mount Wrangell requires either aircraft transportation or extended hiking expeditions through the remote Alaskan wilderness terrain.
The volcano contains a massive volume of 900 cubic kilometers, with lava flows extending up to 58 kilometers from their source on the southwest flank.
