Lassen Peak is a lava dome volcano. In fact, it is the world's biggest lava dome. However, Lassen Peak is not exactly your typical dome. Most lava domes don't have craters and don't erupt again after formation. However, Lassen Peak both has summit craters and erupted in the early 20th century LONG after its formation. In fact, the eruptions of the early 20th century were more typical of a stratovolcano than a dome.
