Ember Ridge
Location of Ember Ridge in British Columbia
Ember Ridge is a volcanic mountain ridge associated with the Mount Cayley volcanic field in British Columbia, Canada. Ember Ridge is made of a series of steep-sided domes of glassy, complexly jointed, hornblende-phyric basalt with the most recent eruptions during the Holocene.[1] The domes have structural similarities which indicate that the domes are similar in age and could have formed by the same foundation.
