That would certainly be unusual as pingos are typical of permafrost areas, found in the subarctic and arctic. I have not seen the geology in the Albany area, but could the dome-like shapes you see be volcanos are landforms created by erosion of the abundant volcanic rocks in the area? The confusing part of dome-shaped landforms are the many geological processes that can form them. You have tweeked my interest. Thanks.
Albany, Oregon has tons of them. I drive by them all the time. Off of I-5 heading to Eugene Oregon

Excellent info! I am riding there on my motorcycle this summer and this will be worth visiting.
Enjoy! It is an epic ride. Need to stay alert, but it is well worth the trip.
