This is an original 1923 halftone print of Reflection Lake in the Mount Rainier National Park. The volcano can be seen in the background. The caption writes, "In the state of Washington rises Mount Ranier-- nearly three miles high-- the greatest extinct volcano in America, outside of Alaska. It was named for the Admiral Ranier of the British Navy, who discovered the peak in 1792 while surveying the waters of Puget Sound." Mount Rainier is currently on the Decade Volcano list-- a list that encompasses 16 volcanoes that could potentially have an incredibly destructive eruption.
