Eve Cone

Nature
Eve Cone is a young Holocene cinder cone in Mount Edziza Provincial Park in northwestern British Columbia, at the northern end of the Big Raven Plateau within the Desolation Lava Field. Formed in a single eruptive phase, likely by a tall lava fountain, it is among the youngest eruptive centres in the field and is renowned as one of Canada’s most symmetrical and best-preserved cinder cones. Lava erupted mainly from vents around its base, creating a broad lava field. The cone was named by geologist Jack Souther for Eve Brown Edzerza, a Tahltan woman remembered for surviving an avalanche on Mount Edziza and guiding rescuers to the site.
