Cocoa Crater

關於

Cocoa Crater, sometimes called Cocoa Cone, is a cinder cone in Cassiar Land District of northwestern British Columbia, Canada. It has an elevation of 2,117 metres (6,946 feet) and is one of several volcanic cones in the Snowshoe Lava Field at the southern end of the Big Raven Plateau. The cone is southeast of the community of Telegraph Creek in Mount Edziza Provincial Park, which is one of the largest provincial parks in British Columbia. Coffee Crater was the source of a 2-kilometre-wide (1.2-mile) lava flow that travelled to the northwest.

Cocoa Crater is a part of the Mount Edziza volcanic complex, which consists of diverse landforms such as shield volcanoes, stratovolcanoes, lava domes and cinder cones. The cone contains a volcanic crater and was the source of a 2 km (1.2 mi) wide lava flow that travelled northwest on the Big Raven Plateau into the upper portion of Sezill Creek canyon. Cocoa Crater is surrounded by a number of other volcanic features, including Punch Cone, Koosick Bluff, Coffee Crater, Keda Cone and Hoia Bluff.
