RHH's photos with the keyword: sherman crater

This is another view of the main crater on Mount Baker, Sherman Crater, with Sherman Peak the outcrop on the far side of the crater. One of the steam vents is just visible near the lower center of the picture and Mount Rainier is barely visible in the distance, with Baker Lake on the left. The volcanic nature of the rock is also evident in the foreground. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2014/09/climbing-mount-baker-day-2.html

This photo was taken from the top of Baker looking down into Sherman Crater with its steam vents. Mount Baker is an active volcano and on a quiet clear day we can sometimes see the steam rising from the south side where this crater is located. There is a bit of steam rising from the vent in this picture and the colors of the rock and the snow are also the result of the volcanic activity. Baker last erupted in the 1800's and it is hard to forget that one is living in the shadow of Baker. On another note, there are two climbers coming up Deming Glacier just over the lip of the crater.
