  • Over thousands of years, the glaciers of Mount Baker carved away rock to reveal a surprising history: Not just one, but three ancient and distinct volcanoes have lived and died in the volcanic field over the past million years.

    I love these videos! Geology comes alive in Nick's hands!
    I took a plane ride over Mt St Helen's last spring with my son and some of the filmography in this video reminds me of that experience - we felt SO close it was as though we could touch the mountain! Time to go schedule our next plane ride adventure!

    Those Andesite columns are beautiful structures. So much Geology to learn. Thank you Nick and KCTS for bringing us these geology adventures. FYI... "Volcanoes" is misspelled in the title of the video.

    So glad to see a series on the most northern WA mountain area... and as always Love Nick!! And LOVE the drone and camera-work, first rate and talent! WOW AGAIN Gary Paul is a field producer too. And I was just wondering if Nick was going to pay Gary a visit since this is Gary's back yard!! Pays to read the credits. I call Gary the Obi Wan of the Back Country!! Hello Gary!! Do you have a calendar out this year? Nick should create a calendar also!

    I climbed Mt. Baker in the 1970s and my son climbed it with a paid for guided group in May of 2017 before they climbed Rainier. I climbed it in August 1973 and there wasn't as much snow as my son encountered in May, but in 73 you weren't going up there in May. I knew it was a volcano, but didn't know it sat in an old caldera.

    When Boeing moved us to Seattle in August 1978 (I was 16, sis was 17) the first thing my sister and I did was go to the Pacific Science Center. At the time, they thought if any Cascade volcano erupted soon, it'd be Mt Baker. I don't think Mt St Helens was even mentioned!

    While the usual rule to form a plural for nouns ending in 'o' is to add '-es,' and that's the way Stevie spells it, both 'volcanos' and 'volcanoes' are judged acceptable by most dictionaries and commentators.

    What this doesn't address is the Black Buttes. The Black Buttes, on the western flank of Mt. Baker, are the basalt core of the previous volcano where Mt Baker is today. That volcano went extinct about 500,000 years ago and was about 2 million years old when it died. So what is the relationship between this caldera and that previous volcano. They are clearly two different volcanic events as the caldera explosion would have been long before the Black Buttes volcano went extinct. But they both would have been in the same general location. I would be very interested in the geologic historic relationship of those two volcanic events.
