Volcano Mountain

Volcano Mountain is a cinder cone in central Yukon Territory, Canada, located a short distance north of Fort Selkirk, near the confluence of the Pelly and Yukon Rivers.

Future eruptions from Volcano Mountain would probably be lava flows, since there is a lack of pyroclastic material.

The main hazards from Volcano Mountain are forest fires started by the lava flows and poisonous gases.

Older volcanic deposits south of Volcano Mountain indicate that lava flows may have once partly blocked or at least altered the course of the Yukon and Pelly Rivers.

Any future activity in this area could disrupt the course of both of these major rivers and could have a serious impact on people living or working downstream.
