Often compared to Mount Fuji, Japan, the symmetrical Shishaldin volcano located on central Unimak Island in the Aleutian Islands rises 2,857 m (9,373 ft) above sea level. The volcano has had several historical eruptions. A summit crater emits a nearly continuous plume of steam. Photograph by C. Nye, Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys, May 10, 1994.
