Kulshan (Mount Baker) Stratovolcano© ™ ®, part of the Cascadia Volcanic Arc © ™ ®

>> slide image left >> 18 kilometres south of the Canadian border, 108 kilometres east of Vancouver, Canada, 3,286~3,288 m (10,786 ft) Mount Baker (Kulshan) Stratovolcano is where the westward moving North America Tectonic Plate, collides with the Juan de Fuca Tectonic Plate. It is active. The United States Geologic Survey rates it a VERY HIGH RISK. If the wind is from the east, the tephra will fall on Vancouver, Canada in about an hour. Hyperlinks your own social media.

Universal Coordinated Time UTC – ZULU is a 24 hour clock. During an eruption, if the wind is from the east at 10,000 feet (outflow), the tephra will fall on Vancouver, Canada in about an hour. If the Kulshan Wind is from the west (inflow) the tephra will fall on Merritt, BC in about 40 minutes. There are extremes in preparedness, of course. As a basis of my work I use the 2015 Profile of Earthquake Risk in the District of North Vancouver by Earthquake Canada, wherein they state that there is 30% chance of a M7.3 in the middle of the Salish Sea, say between North Vancouver, Nanaimo and Victoria, in the next 50 years, that will bring down 839 buildings, just among the 80,000 residents in the District of North Vancouver.

Kulshan has erupted numerous times in (Lummi: Qwú’mə Kwəlshéːn; Nooksack: Kw’eq Smaenit or Kwelshán), also known as Koma Kulshan or simply Kulshan, Sto:Lo Koma Kulshan or simply Kulshan?, has erupted 13 times in recorded history. Its last eruption was in 1880.

Mt. Baker is an isolated stratovolcano in northern Washington. It is the northernmost of the Cascade volcanoes in the United States. Most of the summit of the volcano is covered by glaciers. Because of this, some First Nations gave Mt. Baker a name meaning "White Steep Mountain."; Sto:lo "Father", with Mount Cheam being mother.

Kulshan Stratovolcano© / Mount Baker Stratovolcano© has been very active over the last 10,000 years. Over that time it has had one pyroclastic

flow, at least four small tephra eruptions, at least two lava flows and at least eight mud flows. Mud flows remain the largest hazard on Kulshan Stratovolcano© / Mount Baker Stratovolcano©. Kulshan / Mt. Baker erupted in 1843. This eruption resulted in the deaths of many fish in the Baker River, a large forest fire, and the dropping of volcanic ash. The release of steam occurred at Mt. Baker in 1975-6, but no eruption followed this event. One of the most recent formations on Baker is a ~760 m (~2500 ft) wide, ~100m (~330ft) high cinder cone and its ~11 km (~7 mile) long lava flow at Schreibers Meadow.
