Glass Buttes

 * ... that Glass Buttes is a mountain group in central Oregon named for the large deposits of obsidian (pictured) found on their slopes? Source: Oregon Geographic Names, p. 404:  "Glass Buttes are in the northeast corner of Lake County. ... The buttes take their name from the obsidian…scattered over their slopes."

 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough, long enough, well written and well sourced, with an appropriately licensed, interesting, and relevant image. I'm surprised such a clearly-notable subject didn't already have an article, but apparently it didn't. There's a typo in the hook sentence of the article (in the Recreation section; not a problem for DYK, but might be worth more general copyediting): "are name" should be "are named". Additionally, the "see also" links violate WP:SEEALSO's request not to list things that are already in the main article, but again, that is not a DYK issue. Hook source verified from its online source (the one listed above is offline), although the NYT article footnoted on the same sentence doesn't mention the name origin. Earwig found no copyright or copying problems. Hook is within policy and QPQ done. Good to go. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:44, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
