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. It lies northwest of the Spectrum Range on the Kitsu Plateau and consists of young basaltic lava flows and tephra. The source for the basaltic lava and tephra was three cinder cones, including Mess Lake Cone and The Ash Pit, which may be
Ice-marginal lava flow activity and erosion. In the late 1800s, a debris flow from the Barrier created a large boulder field which gave Rubble Creek its name. Conditions are so bad that the area directly below the lava damn is considered uninhabitable and dangerous to human life. Hoodoo Mountain A second example of ice-marginal lava flows can again be found in British Columbia, this time near the border of Alaska. The Hoodoo Mountain Volcano is located in Northwestern British Columbia The volcano formed underneath a glacier, making it a subglacial formation. The Hoodoo Mountain Volcano is a flat-topped stratovolcano as a result of
