Kuno Peak

Kuno Peak is a 2,183-metre mountain in northwestern British Columbia at the southwestern end of the Spectrum Range within the Mount Edziza volcanic complex. Its rocks belong mainly to the Pliocene Spectrum Formation, composed largely of comendite, pantellerite, and pantelleritic trachyte preserved in lava flows, breccia, and ash-flow deposits that are the eroded remains of a large lava dome. Its southwestern flank also preserves the remains of a much younger Holocene Big Raven Formation cinder cone, which produced a lava flow before landsliding largely destroyed the cone and buried the flow. The peak was named for Japanese volcanologist Hisashi Kuno, who visited the area in 1966.
