Oblique aerial photograph of Mount Griggs stratovolcano. Most of the 7,650 ft-high edifice consists late Pleistocene and Holocene lava flows and agglutinate. Knife Creek tributary streams bounding volcano are the Griggs Fork (right) and the Juhle Fork (left). Beyond the Juhle Fork is Mount Juhle, which consists largely of Jurassic marine sedimentary strata of the Naknek Formation, intruded by a Tertiary porphyritic granitoid pluton. Broken Mountain (lower left), Knife Creek valley (part of the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes), and glacier (lower right) are covered by pyroclastic-flow and fall deposits from 1912 eruption of Novarupta (out of view to left). View is northward across upper Knife Creek. Photo by USGS.
