Nature
Ice Peak is a 2,500-metre mountain in northwestern British Columbia, forming the prominent south summit of Mount Edziza within Mount Edziza Provincial Park. A sharply pyramidal horn shaped by glacial erosion, it rises through the Mount Edziza ice cap above the Big Raven Plateau and is surrounded by active cirques and glaciers, including Tencho Glacier on its southern flank. Geologically, it is the remnant of an ancient stratovolcano about 1 million years old, partly stripped by erosion and partly buried by the younger Mount Edziza massif. Its slopes and nearby lava fields show the long interaction of volcanism and glaciation in this protected high-country landscape.
