Cinder Mountain is a partially eroded volcano in British Columbia, Canada, located at the head of Snippaker Creek. It is one of the Iskut-Unuk River Cones and was the source of a 4 km (2.5 mi) long lava flow. The lava flow is basaltic in composition and terminated in Copper King Creek to the north where it overlies alpine moraine. Cinder Mountain consists mainly of ice-contact deposits that are mostly in the form of hyaloclastites and pillow lavas.[3] It has been described as a subglacial mound or a composite cone. Volcanism at Cinder Mountain may have occurred during the Pleistocene or within the last 8,780 years.[2][3] The mountain has an elevation of 1,880 m (6,170 ft).[1]
