Mount McLoughlin

Mount McLoughlin is a 2894 -meter-high stratovolcano in the Cascade Range in the south of the U.S. state of Oregon. It is located north of Mount Shasta, south of Crater Lake and west of Upper Klamath Lake. The mountain was originally named Mount Pitt, however, was by John McLoughlin, an official of the Hudson 's Bay Company, later renamed. The last eruption occurred about 20,000 years ago. About 25,000 years ago, he glaciated.

Alternative names of Mount McLoughlin include Big Butte, M'laiksini Yaina, Mount Pit, Mount Pitt, Mount Shasty and Snowy Butte.

Except for a excerpt from Arthur B. Emmons from 1886 until the 1970s, little was known about the geology, as LeRoy Maynard hired investigations about this. He was a geologist at the Center for Volcanology, University of Oregon.
