The Volcano

The Volcano is a cinder cone in British Columbia that rises with a distinctive conical form created by volcanic material and ash. The cone displays the typical shape of a structure built from accumulated eruptive debris over multiple volcanic episodes.

This cinder cone formed thousands of years ago through repeated volcanic activity that shaped the region. The eruptions responsible for its creation left behind the cone structure visible today.

Local indigenous communities maintain connections to this volcanic landscape, which forms part of their traditional territories in British Columbia.

This site sits in a remote location and requires solid planning and navigation skills to reach. Visitors should expect challenging terrain and rough conditions typical of wilderness areas in British Columbia.

The volcanic deposits contain varied mineral compositions that tell scientists about the strength and nature of past eruptions. These geological layers preserve records of different volcanic pulses that shaped the landscape over millennia.
