High-resolution digital elevation dataset for Glacier Peak and vicinity, Washington, based on lidar surveys of August-November, 2014 and June, 2015
Glacier Peak is a 3,214 m (10,544 ft.) stratovolcano composed mainly of dacite. The volcano is located in the Glacier Peak Wilderness Area, in the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, about 100 km (65 mi) northeast of Seattle and 110 km (70 mi) south of the International Boundary with Canada. Since...
