Alaska's Strange & Out of Place Volcano; Mount Prindle

Описание: Within Alaska is a 500-foot-tall volcano which strangely stands alone in an area where no volcanic eruptions of any kind have occurred for 20 million years. Known as Mount Prindle, this isolated cinder cone is seemingly out of place, not being either part of the Aleutian volcanic arc or the Wrangell volcanic belt. So, why does this extinct cinder cone exist? This video will answer this question which involves a vast slowly rifting region of the North American tectonic plate.
