Ice Peak is the prominent south peak of Mount Edziza in northwestern British Columbia, Canada.[2] It is the eroded remains of a stratovolcano predating the main edifice of Mount Edziza and contains a 2500m (8,200feet) summit which represents the western rim of a small caldera.[3] The Ice Peak stratovolcano has been largely destroyed by glacial erosion but it was volcanically active during the Holocene.[3] Ice Peak and the main mass of Mount Edziza are wholly known to the local Tahltan as Tenh Dẕetle which translates to Ice Mountain.[2] [4]
