Image Size 300 DPI: 47 * 31 cm

The islands, part of the Aleutian Island chain, are actually the upper slopes of volcanoes rising from the sea floor: Herbert (bottom), Carlisle (left), Cleveland (center), and Tana (top right). Carlisle and Herbert volcanoes are distinct cones and form separate islands. Cleveland volcano and the Tana volcanic complex form the eastern and western ends respectively of Chuginadak Island. A cloud bank obscures the connecting land mass in this image. Cleveland volcano (elevation 1,730 meters above sea level) is one of the most active in the Aleutian chain.
