Home of the Oregon Ducks American Football team is Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon. The central “O” and end-zone “Oregon” is clearly visible in signature yellow on green.

Today we are proud to present to you, the 1st Annual* Google Sightseeing Volcano Day! Yes that’s right, we have an entire day of posts lined up entirely devoted to volcanoes.

• Please note: This event may not actually occur annually

To get us started, we have the 3426 metre Mount Hood in Oregon. Snow-capped all year round, the volcano hasn’t erupted since 1782, but is considered potentially active. Mount Hood has eleven glaciers and five ski areas, including the only ski area in the U.S. that’s open 12 months of the year.

Unfortunately, like most of the volcanoes we’ll be posting today, Mount Hood is not shown in high-resolution yet. Maybe by the time we get to the 2nd annual volcano awards…

Thanks to david poznik and sunilonln.

Oregon’s spectacular Crater Lake is (at its deepest) 1,932 feet deep — the deepest lake in the United States. The lake is in a volcanic caldera that was formed 6900 years ago by the collapse of the volcano Mount Mazama. You can also see the lake’s Wizard Island in this photo.
