Lassen Peak\, the southernmost active volcano in the Cascade Range\,explosively erupted in 1915\, devastating nearby areas and raining volcanic ash as far away as 200 miles to the east.
Lassen National Park\, in addition to prominent volcanic areas\,contains the most spectacular array of thermal features in the Cascade Range including fumaroles\, bubbling mud pots\, and a boiling lake.
A new USGS map shows volcanic centers in unprecedented detail\,enabling development of products to better evaluate and assess regional volcanic hazards.

In the fall of 2011\, PCS member Arun Mahajan journeyed to the western part of Sikkim\, the land-locked Indian state bordered by Nepal\, Tibet Bhutan and West Bengal\, for some trekking and climbing along with one leader/guide and another climber. Their group trekked in from Yuksom\, the historic capital city of the Chogyal Kings of Sikkim along the Goecha La trekking route. From base camp\, they made three forays into the small range of relatively unknown peaks nearby.
