Ember Ridge

Ember Ridge

Ember Ridge is a subglacial mound associated with the Mount Cayley volcanic complex in British Columbia, Canada. Ember Ridge last erupted during the Pliocene and is made of series of steep-sided domes of glassy, complexly jointed, hornblende-phyric basalt. The domes have structural similarities which indicate that the domes are similar in age and could have formed by the same foundation.
