Mount Shasta, USA. Satellite image of Mount Shasta, California, USA, covered in snow. Mount Shasta is a potentially active volcano located at the southern end of the Cascade Range. Although covered in snow here, this was a particularly dry winter for the region and snow cover had significantly decreased by January 2014. This snow deficit mirrored the wider issue of historically low snow and rain totals around California. Imaged by the Operational Land Imager (OLI) onboard NASA's Landsat 8 satellite, on 1st november 2013.
