Satah Mountain volcanic field

The Satah Mountain volcanic field (SMVF) is an extensive north-south trending volcanic chain in the Central Interior of British Columbia that stretches south of the Itcha Range shield volcano to northeast of Nimpo Lake.

This volcanic chain is named after its highest volcano, Satah Mountain, 35 km (22 mi) northeast of Nimpo Lake.

The most recently formed cone is well preserved and might have a similar age to the 7,200‑year‑old Nazko Cone at the easternmost end of the Anahim Volcanic Belt.

[1] However, argon-argon dating by Kuehn et al. (2015) found that the youngest SMVF feature was a 1.43 million year old plug of basaltic trachyandesite.
