Qcav-1. View northeast from northeast side of Glacier Peak volcano [SRse]. An eroded cleaver of Glacier Peak lava (Qcav) stands above an eroded remnant of young moraine (Qag) and older tuff and breccia of Miocene Gamma Ridge caldera (QTcc). These latter deposits are capped by Pleistocene lava (Qcav) which forms Gamma Peak. Photographed in 1961. View image without annotation
