Mount Meager (British Columbia)

It represents the second highest peak of the Mount Meager massif, a group of coalescent stratovolcanoes in the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt.

On August 6, the southern 2,554 m (8,379 ft) peak of Meager collapsed in a series of major rockfalls.

The landslide dam was about 30 m (98 ft) high and impounded water in a temporary lake about 4 km (2.5 mi) long.

The response of emergency personnel, fearing a sudden failure of the dam on Meager Creek, was to direct residents on the Lillooet River floodplain, in the village of Pemberton 55 km (34 mi) downstream and in the Lil'wat community at Mount Currie to evacuate the area.
