volcanic peak
Magma-venting mountain top
A volcanic peak is a mountain or summit formed by volcanic activity—either the cone built up by erupted material or the highest point of a volcano.
The term emphasizes elevation and pointed shape: The volcanic peak rose above the clouds.
Some volcanic peaks are active; others are dormant remnants of ancient eruptions.
