Lava permanent lakes of lava exist. These include: Lava deltas form wherever sub-aerial flows of lava enter standing bodies of water. The lava cools and breaks up as it encounters the water, with the resulting fragments filling in the seabed topography such that the sub-aerial flow can move further offshore. Lava deltas are generally associated with large-scale, effusive type basaltic volcanism. Lava flows are enormously destructive to property in their path. However, casualties are rare since flows are usually slow enough for people and animals to escape, though this is dependent on the viscosity of the lava. Nevertheless, injuries and deaths
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
