Meszah Peak

Meszah Peak is a volcanic cone in northwestern British Columbia and the highest summit of the Level Mountain Range, a group of bare peaks rising from the vast Level Mountain shield volcano. More than an isolated mountain, it forms the culminating high point of a broad volcanic massif shaped by long-lived eruptions. Its importance comes from this setting: Level Mountain is identified as the most voluminous and most persistent eruptive centre in the Northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province. Meszah Peak therefore stands out as both the summit of an extensive shield volcano and one of northern British Columbia’s notable volcanic landforms within a major volcanic region of western Canada.
