Other maars in the field are the North and South Killeak Maars and Whitefish Maar, and Devil Mountain (Alaska), Devil Mountain is a shield volcano. The large size of these maars has been attributed to the interaction between permafrost and ascending magma, which favoured intense explosive eruptions. Soils buried underneath the Devil Mountain Maar tephra have been used to reconstruct the regional climate during the Last Glacial Maximum, last glacial maximum.
