Tseax Cone, Volcanic cone in British Columbia, Canada
Tseax Cone rises 609 meters above sea level in the Nass Ranges of the Hazelton Mountains, featuring two nested structures and four distinct lava flows.
The last recorded eruption occurred around 1690, causing substantial modifications to the surrounding valleys through the spread of volcanic materials and gases.
The Nisga'a people named this location 'Where the Fire Ran Out', preserving accounts of the eruption's impact on their communities through generations.
Access to the site requires navigation through forest service roads from major highways, with guided hiking options available through Nisga'a Memorial Lava Bed Provincial Park.
The surrounding lava flows support specific vegetation patterns, with lichens and mosses covering volcanic rocks while dense rainforests border the formations.
