Mount Emmons is along the SW side of the 11 x 18 km Emmons Lake caldera. Youthful lava flows form the irregular shoreline of Emmons Lake in the foreground. The high peaks in the background (left center) are Pavlof just beyond the NE rim of the caldera, and Pavlof Sister. Photo by Tom Miller (Alaska Volcano Observatory, U.S. Geological Survey).
