Description
This dramatic scene of rough mountain peaks breaking through the clouds was taken from a small aircraft, a Cessna 206. These mountains are part of the Aleutian Mountain Range in Alaska. The Aleutian Range begins on the western shores of Cook Inlet, across from the city of Kenai on the Kenai Peninsula. It extends to the southwest along the Alaska Peninsula, eventually entering the Pacific Ocean and forming a chain of islands over a thousand miles long. These islands gradually arc northwards towards Siberia. These mountains are located at the northern end of the range.
Collision between continental plates has created a 1,400 mile (2,253 km) chain of active volcanoes in this mountain range.
