Tanaga Island

From the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS):




Jealousy Ensues — We're in love with this picturesque waterfall shot from our own Michelle Coombs taken last month along the north coast of Tanaga Island, near Takawangha volcano in the Aleutian Islands. The northern half of Tanaga Island is home to the Tanaga volcanic complex, comprising three main volcanic edifices. Tanaga volcano is the tallest of these (1,806 m or 5,925 ft) and lies in the center of the complex. The last known eruption of Tanaga occurred in 1914 and earlier eruptions were reported in 1763-1770, 1791, and 1829. Photo credit: Michelle Coombs, AVO/USGS.
