In Oregon, there is a towering stratovolcano which completely formed in the last 15,000 years and might one day erupt again. Located west of the town of Bend is this complex is known as Mount Bachelor, which contains approximately 50 vents and may one day erupt again. While it is uncertain whether this complex will ever erupt again, the fact that it did erupt 8,000 years ago means Mount Bachelor is still classified as an active volcano. This video discusses Mount Bachelor's eruptive history and discusses what future hazards it might pose.
