Puzzle #76 was Bachelor.
This volcanic system extends from Mount Bachelor on the N to Lookout Mountain about 20 km S, with a chain of scoria cones and small shield volcanoes between and additional volcanic features to the E.

Volcanodle builds its record from Global Volcanism Program, Smithsonian Institution (Venzke, E. (ed.), Volcanoes of the World, volcano.si.edu). The description above comes from the same place the game credits on every reveal: A verbatim excerpt of the volcano's GVP Geological Summary. The puzzle itself is still playable in the archive, and every answer that has been and gone is listed on the past-answers page.
