Coffee Crater, Cinder cone volcano in Tahltan Highland, Canada.
Coffee Crater is a cinder cone volcano in British Columbia's Tahltan Highland that rises to about 2000 meters in elevation. Its steep slopes are composed of volcanic rock and ash, making it part of the region's active geologic story.
The cinder cone formed during the Holocene period as part of the extensive Mount Edziza volcanic complex. This past volcanic activity shaped the landscape of the Northern Cordilleran volcanic field.
The volcanic area holds importance for the Tahltan First Nations people who have maintained their traditional territories in these northern British Columbia highlands.
Reaching the crater requires advanced mountaineering gear and technical skills due to the steep and unstable slopes. The remote location in northern highlands means visitors should prepare for long approaches and challenging weather conditions.
The crater cone rises about 130 meters above the surrounding terrain and is one of several cinder cones in the region. These volcanoes sit within the Northern Cordilleran volcanic province and reveal the area's complex volcanic geology.
