Ice Peak
Ice Peak is the prominent south peak of Mount Edziza in northwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is the remains of the western rim of a small caldera that occupied the summit of a stratovolcano predating the main edifice of Mount Edziza. The Ice Peak stratovolcano has been largely destroyed by glacial erosion but it was active during the Holocene. Ice Peak and the main mass of Mount Edziza are wholly known to the local Tahltan as Tenh Dẕetle which translates to Ice Mountain.
