Shastina is located in the western United States, in northern California, in the County of Siskiyou [ 3 ] . It is a mountain located on the western flank of Mont Shasta [ 3 ] . These two summits are of volcanic origin, the Shastina constituting one of the volcanic cones of Mont Shasta [ 4 ] , [ 3 ] .
Shastina culminates at 3,758 meters above sea level [ 3 ] , [ 2 ] . Its summit consists of an iron -shaped crater open to the west and extending by a valley in the side of the mountain [ 3 ] . The summit of Shastina is only 2.38 kilometers away as the crow flies from the summit of Mont Shasta located to the east [ 3 ] . The collar separating the two peaks is at 3,621 meters above sea level, giving Shastina a prominence of only 137 meters [ 3 ] .
Shastina began to train at the start of the Holocene, about 10,000 years ago [ 4 ] . He produced fiery clouds and lahars during his various eruptions, the last of which occurred on an unknown date [ 4 ] .
