Mount Baker (
Lummi:
Qwú’mə Kwəlshéːn;
Nooksack:
Kw’eq Smaenit or
Kwelshán), also known as
Koma Kulshan or simply
Kulshan, is an
active[9] glaciated andesitic stratovolcano [4] in the
Cascade Volcanic Arc and the
North Cascades of
Washington in the United States. Mount Baker has the second-most thermally active crater in the
Cascade Range after
Mount Saint Helens.
[10] About 31 miles (50 km)
[11] due east of the city of
Bellingham,
Whatcom County, Mount Baker is the youngest volcano in the Mount Baker volcanic field.
[5] While volcanism has persisted here for some 1.5 million years, the current glaciated cone is likely no more than 140,000 years old, and possibly no older than 80–90,000 years. Older volcanic edifices have mostly eroded away due to glaciation.
After
Mount Rainier, Mount Baker is the most heavily
glaciated of the Cascade Range volcanoes; the volume of snow and ice on Mount Baker, 0.43 cu mi (1.79 km3) is greater than that of all the other Cascades volcanoes (except Rainier) combined. It is also one of the snowiest places in the world; in 1999,
Mount Baker Ski Area, located 14 km (8.7 mi) to the northeast, set the world record for recorded
snowfall in a single season—1,140 in (2,900 cm).
