Mount Baker is the third highest mountain in the state of Washington. Its icy volcanic dome rises just 15 miles south of the U.S.-Canadian border, and 35 miles east of Bellingham, Washington.
It receives a great deal of precipitation, and supports twelve glaciers. Its summit crater is ice-filled,
leveling out on top to form a relatively flat 35-acre ice summit.
A unique network of ice caverns tunnels through the ice,
a phenomenon that is known to exist on only two other North American peaks, Mount Rainier (14,410 ft.) and Mount Wrangell (14,163 ft.).
Baker has steamed consistently throughout history,
and had at least eight known eruptions to its credit in the nineteenth century. No eruptive activity has been recorded since 1880,
though with the 1980 eruption of Mount Saint Helens,
scientists are more attentively monitoring several Cascade volcanoes, including Mount Baker.

I've meet many dogs right there make me feel so happy,
just like my Bobo in my arm again!
