Devils Desk is a stratovolcano in Alaska's Katmai National Park, split between the Kodiak Island and Lake and Peninsula boroughs of that U.S. state. Its peak, which is located in Kodiak Island Borough, lies 5879feet above sea level. It has an elevation of 6411feet. The age of the volcano is not certain, but a sample from the southwest face of the volcano was dated at 245,000 years old.[1] The edifice represents the neck of a formerly larger stratovolcano, whose flanks have been removed by glacial erosion. The summit is almost encircled by Hook Glacier.[2]
