Glass Mountain in California

 part of the rim of the Long Valley caldera,

one of North America's largest volcanoes.

It gets its name from the rhyolite and obsidian flows

that compose it.

These rocks are especially high in silica.

which runs near Mono Lake to the north of the peak.

The caldera itself is beyond.
