Mount Churchill, Stratovolcano in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Alaska, US
Mount Churchill reaches an elevation of 4,766 meters and features a caldera measuring 2.7 by 4.2 kilometers east of its summit point.
The volcano experienced two substantial White River Ash eruptions, with the most recent occurring in winter 852/853, spreading ash across Alaska and western Canada.
Scientists extracted the longest non-polar ice core near Mount Churchill, spanning 460.96 meters, which provides data about historical climate patterns.
The remote location requires air transportation or extended hiking through undeveloped terrain, as no roads lead directly to the mountain base.
The U.S. Geological Survey classifies Mount Churchill as a high threat volcano due to its potential impact on air travel and regional environments.
