Nahta Cone

Canada

Nahta Cone is a small cinder cone in Cassiar Land District of northwestern British Columbia, Canada. It has an elevation of 1,670 metres (5, 480 feet) and lies near the northern edge of the Arctic Lake Plateau, a glacially scored plateau of the Tahltan Highland which in turn extends along the western side of the Stikine Plateau. The cone is about 70 kilometres (43 miles) south-southeast of the community of Telegraph Creek and lies in the southwestern corner of Mount Edziza Provincial Park, one of the largest provincial parks in British Columbia. Nahta Cone is a part of the Mount Edziza volcanic complex and overlies a limestone hill. The summit of the cone contains a circular crater breached on the east which was the source of a roughly 3 km (1.9 mi) long lava flow that travelled northerly and then westerly into the head of Nahta Creek. Ejecta from the volcano extends about 500 m (1, 600 ft) to the west and 700 m (2, 300 ft) to the north. Access to this isolated volcanic cone is limited to float plane or helicopter.
