As a result of a relatively mild [[temperate zone|temperate]] climate with ample [[precipitation]], the areas around Image Lake boast rich natural habitats with many species of plants, insects, rodents, and large mammals. [[Native Americans in the United States|Native Americans]] took advantage of these resources, and may have inhabited the area seasonally. However, human activity such as hunting, fishing, and mining, and recreational overuse increased after the arrival of Europeans. As a result, some areas experienced significant [[environmental degradation]] near the end of the nineteenth century and the early twentieth century, including the eradication of large [[predator]]y animals. Recreational overuse and the presence of [[livestock]] were especially problematic in the early to mid-twentieth century.
==Climate==
Image Lake is located in the [[marine west coast]] climate zone of western [[North America]].<ref name="Beckey 15">[[#Beckey-ref|Beckey]], p. 15</ref> Most [[weather front]]s originate in the [[Pacific Ocean]], and travel northeast toward the [[Cascade Mountains]], which surround Image Lake. As fronts from approach the North Cascades, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Cascade Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of [[rain]] or [[snowfall]] onto the Cascades. As a result, the west side of the North Cascades experiences high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall.<ref name="Beckey 15" /> Due to its temperate climate and proximity to the Pacific Ocean, areas west of the Cascade Crest very rarely experience temperatures below {{convert|0|°F|°C}} or above {{convert|80|°F|°C}}.<ref name="Beckey 15" /> During winter months, weather is usually cloudy, but, due to high pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean that intensify during summer months, there is often little or no cloud cover during the summer.<ref name="Beckey 16">[[#Beckey-ref|Beckey]], p. 16</ref> Because of [[Oceanic climate|maritime influence]], snow tends to be wet and heavy, resulting in high [[avalanche]] danger.<ref name="Beckey 16" />
[[Global warming]] is expected to have a number of negative long-term ecological impacts on the region, including drought, increased forest fires, forest degradation to drought and disease, and less healthy or nonexistent salmon runs.<ref name="Global warming">{{cite web|url=http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/impacts-adaptation/northwest.html |title=Climate Impacts in the Northwest |date=September 9, 2013 |publisher=[[United States Environmental Protection Agency]] |accessdate=April 13, 2014 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131020144830/http://epa.gov/climatechange/impacts-adaptation/northwest.html |archivedate=October 20, 2013 }}</ref> The distribution and survival of plant species, especially those that inhabit alpine environments, as well as animals that are specifically adapted to those environments, will also be adversely affected.<ref name="Global warming" /><ref>{{cite journal | last=Lanza | first=Michael | date=September 2007 | url=http://www.backpacker.com/september_2007_nature_how_climate_change_is_affecting_our_alpine_environments/nature/12109 | title=How Climate Change is Affecting Our Alpine Environments | journal=[[Backpacker (magazine)|Backpacker]] | accessdate=April 13, 2013 | url-status=dead | archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140415122031/http://www.backpacker.com/september_2007_nature_how_climate_change_is_affecting_our_alpine_environments/nature/12109 | archivedate=April 15, 2014 }}</ref> Glaciers are also expected to recede due to a decreased buildup of snowpack and higher overall temperatures.<ref>{{cite journal | last=Pelto | first=Mauri S. | date=May 17, 2006 | title=Impact of Climate Change on North Cascade Alpine Glaciers, and Alpine Runoff | volume=82 | journal=Northwest Science | publisher=Northwest Scientific Association | publication-date=December 3, 2007 | edition=82nd | pages=65–75 | doi=10.3955/0029-344X-82.1.65 }}</ref>
==Hydrology==
[[File:Image Lake Glacier Peak Wilderness.jpg|thumb|Image Lake at sunset]]
{{See also|Sauk River (Washington)}}
Image Lake has a drainage basin with an area of less than {{convert|1|mi2|km2}}. Its primary outflow is a small, unnamed creek that feeds into Miners Creek, which in turn drains into the [[Suiattle River]].<ref name="Topo" /> The Suiattle River drains into the [[Skagit River]], which in turn empties into [[Puget Sound]].<ref>{{cite journal | last=Kimbrough | first=R.A. | date=March 23, 2006 | title=Water Resources Data-Washington Water Year 2005 | url=http://pubs.usgs.gov/wdr/2005/wdr-wa-05-1/pdf/wa00103ADR2005_Figure40.pdf | accessdate=December 10, 2013 | publisher=[[United States Geological Survey]] | page=374}}</ref> The highest point in the drainage basin is nearly {{convert|7000|ft|m}} above sea level.<ref name="Topo" /> The lake itself is roughly circular,<ref name="Topo" /> and has an area of about {{convert|3|–|4|acre|ha}}.<ref name="Decision card" />
==Geology==
{{Further|North Cascades#Geology}}
Subduction and tectonic activity began in the area began during the [[Late Cretaceous|late cretaceous]] [[Geologic epoch|period]], about {{ma|90}}. The area was previously an oceanic environment, consisting mainly of [[Sedimentary rock|sedimentary]] and [[Igneous rock|volcanic]] rocks.<ref name="Beckey geology">[[#Beckey-ref|Beckey]], pp. 218–220</ref> Extensive volcanic activity began to take place in the [[oligocene]], about {{ma|35}}.<ref name="USGS">{{cite web | url=http://geomaps.wr.usgs.gov/parks/noca/nocageol1.html | title=North Cascades Geology | publisher=[[United States Geological Survey]] | accessdate=July 29, 2013 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130801004910/http://geomaps.wr.usgs.gov/parks/noca/nocageol1.html | archive-date=August 1, 2013 | url-status=dead }}</ref> However, [[Tectonic uplift|mountain building]] in the area did not begin until the [[miocene]], approximately {{ma|10}}.<ref name="Beckey geology" /> Image Lake is located in the Cloudy Pass [[batholith]], an [[Intrusion|intrusive]] formation that was formed approximately {{ma|20}}, during the early miocene.<ref name="Beckey geology" /> Glacier Peak, a [[stratovolcano]] that is south of Image Lake, began forming in the mid-[[Pleistocene]].<ref name="Beckey geology" /> Due to Glacier Peak's proximity to Image Lake, [[volcanic ash]] is quite common in the area, and plays a major role in the formation of [[soil]].<ref name="Krukeberg 321">[[#Krukeberg-ref|Krukeberg]], p. 321</ref>
Throughout the [[Last Glacial Maximum|ice age]], the North Cascades were mostly covered in thick glaciers, extending to near [[Puget Sound]]. Glaciation was most prevalent approximately {{nowrap|18,000 years ago}}, and most valleys were ice-free by {{nowrap|12,000 years ago}}.<ref>[[#Beckey-ref|Beckey]], pp. 217–218</ref> As a result, valleys in the area are deep and [[U-shaped valley|u-shaped]], and mountains tend to be rocky, with steep slopes and narrow summits.<ref name="USGS"/>

{{Main|Ecology of the North Cascades}}
===Flora===
[[File:Virgin Lake Blanca Lake 0016.jpg|thumb|left|alt=An evergreen forest growing on a steep mountainside|A mountain hemlock forest similar to those that grow near Image Lake]]
Image Lake and the surrounding area is in the [[North Cascades (ecoregion)|North Cascades ecoregion]], and [[temperate rainforest]]s grow at lower elevations, such as in the [[Suiattle River]] valley.<ref>[[#Beckey-ref|Beckey]], pp. 214–217.</ref> Common trees in this habitat include [[western redcedar]], [[western hemlock]], and [[Douglas fir]].<ref>[[#Krukeberg-ref|Krukeberg]], p. 308</ref> At middle elevations, forests are dominated by [[Pacific silver fir]] and, to a lesser extent, [[Alaska cedar]]. [[Devil's club]] and [[huckleberry]] grow in moist areas on the forest floor. However, [[beargrass]] and [[salal]] dominate in drier areas. The mid-elevation forests also receive more precipitation, especially in the form of snowfall, than lower elevations.<ref>[[#Krukeberg-ref|Krukeberg]], p. 313</ref> Western hemlock and Douglas fir are also present, especially at the lower edge of the mid-elevation forest zone.<ref>[[#Krukeberg-ref|Krukeberg]], p. 316</ref> At higher elevations, Douglas fir and redcedar are largely replaced by [[mountain hemlock]] and Alaska cedar, which both become more common as elevation increases.<ref name="Krukeberg 324">[[#Krukeberg-ref|Krukeberg]], p. 324</ref> The mid-elevation forest zone often occupies the steepest slopes on the mountainside, which result in the occurrence of avalanche tracks. Avalanche tracks are usually occupied by scrub such as [[Alnus viridis|Sitka alder]], as well as smaller shrubs and herbs.<ref>[[#Krukeberg-ref|Krukeberg]], p. 317</ref>
At higher elevations, mountain hemlock and [[subalpine fir]] are the most common trees.<ref name="Krukeberg 321"/> Alaska cedar and [[whitebark pine]] are also present.<ref name="Krukeberg 324" /> However, as the elevation increases, the forest becomes increasingly fragmented, and is interspersed with meadows consisting of grasses, herbs, and shrubs. [[Scree slope]]s are also common.<ref name="Krukeberg 326">[[#Krukeberg-ref|Krukeberg]], p. 326</ref> Temperatures can vary greatly within one day due to the high altitude of the habitat and lack of forest cover. For the same reasons, the parkland also experiences increased solar radiation.<ref>[[#Krukeberg-ref|Krukeberg]], p. 322</ref> At the upper edge of the parkland, trees tend to be stunted, and grow in small clumps. Common shrubs include [[Phyllodoce (plant)|heather]] and [[mountain huckleberry]]. Off-trail hiking can be very destructive in the sub-alpine zone.<ref name="Krukeberg 326" />
Above the subalpine zone, trees become less common. Trees that do manage to gain a foothold are often stunted, with contorted branches due to high winds, increased snowfall, and growing seasons of 2–3 months. These trees are known as "[[krummholz]]", which means "bent wood" in [[German language|German]]. Heather, herbs, and grasses are also present,<ref>[[#Krukeberg-ref|Krukeberg]], p. 343</ref> but are often very sparse.<ref>[[#Krukeberg-ref|Krukeberg]], p. 344</ref> Temperatures often fluctuate greatly, making for a difficult growing season.<ref>[[#Krukeberg-ref|Krukeberg]], p. 346</ref>
===Fauna===
[[File:Mountain goat Quandary Peak.jpg|thumb|alt=A shaggy white animal with small black horns grazing on a mountainside with a forest in the background|Mountain goats are common near Image Lake.]]
Wildlife is common in the area's ecosystem. [[Yellow-bellied marmot|Marmots]] tend to live in large social groups, and play a role in regulating the alpine vegetation. Eagles, hawks, [[coyotes]], and badgers are common predatory animals.<ref>[[#Krukeberg-ref|Krukeberg]], p. 334</ref> [[Clark's nutcracker]]s and [[Canada jay]]s are also common, and various species of [[grouse]] are present.<ref>[[#Krukeberg-ref|Krukeberg]], p. 335</ref> Insects and hummingbirds are common [[pollinator]]s.<ref>[[#Krukeberg-ref|Krukeberg]], pp. 335–336</ref>
