Mess Lake Lava Field those comprising softened calcium carbonate deposit spongy-looking calcareous rock called tufa. Overflow of the springs can build masses, spires or stepped terraces of sinter or tufa. Mess Lake Lava Field The Mess Lake Lava Field is a volcanic field associated with the Mount Edziza volcanic complex of the Northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province in northwestern British Columbia, Canada.

Boring Lava Field of the town of Boring. Volcanologists L. Siebert, T. Simkin, and P. Kimberly (2011) of the Global Volcanism Program list its highest elevation as , at Larch Mountain, with most vents reaching an elevation of . Located in the Portland Basin, the field consists of monogenetic volcanic cones that appear as hills throughout the area, reaching heights of above their surroundings. The collection includes more than 80 small volcanic edifices and lava flows in the Portland–Vancouver metropolitan area, with the possibility of more volcanic deposits buried under sedimentary rock layers.
