Canada has five potentially active volcanic areas, all of which are located in British Columbia and the Yukon Territory: the Wrangell Volcanic Belt of Alaska and adjacent Yukon Territory.

Volcanic rocks found across the Yukon vary greatly in age and have fascinating formation histories. For example, some deposits originated as flood basalts on an ocean floor, while others are the result of crustal thinning due to continental rifting.

The volcanoes in Yukon are part of the circle of volcanoes around the Pacific Ocean known as the Pacific Ring of Fire. Yukon includes more than 100 separate volcanic centres that have been active during the Quaternary.

The geography of northwestern British Columbia and Yukon, Canada is dominated by volcanoes of the Northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province formed due to continental rifting of the North American Plate. It is the most active volcanic region in Canada. [ 1 ]

Volcano Mountain is a cone within the Fort Selkirk volcanic field in the central Yukon Territory, near the junction of the Yukon and Pelly rivers, and is Canada's northernmost Holocene volcano. Volcano Mountain comprises a scoria cone and a series of …

Included below are three field experiences that showcase different areas of volcanic activity within the Fort Selkirk volcanic field: Volcano Mountain, Ne Ch'e Ddhawa, and exposures along the Yukon River.

Volcano Mountain is the youngest eruptive center in the Fort Selkirk Volcanic Group, and the youngest volcano in the Yukon. This volcano, with a summit elevation of 1239 m above sea level (4065') rises 540 m above the surrounding landscape.

Canada’s volcanically active regions are located in British Columbia and the Yukon Territory (Figure 11.45). At least 49 eruptions have occurred within these regions in the last 10,000 years. There are five volcanic regions associated with three types of plate tectonic settings: a subduction zone, a mantle plume, and a continental rift zone.
