Everything about The Spectrum Range totally explained
The
Spectrum Range, formerly called the
Spectrum Mountains and the
Rainbow Mountains, is a
subrange of the
Tahltan Highland and
Boundary Ranges in the
Stikine Country of northwestern
British Columbia, 20 km west of the
Stewart-Cassiar Highway, south of
Mount Edziza and north of the
Arctic Lake Plateau. The Spectrum Range falls within
Mount Edziza Provincial Park. The range is lightly glaciated, as compared to the other ranges to the west. It lies on the
Spatsizi Plateau.
Geology
Like the
Rainbow and
Itcha-
Ilgachuz Ranges at the western end of the
Chilcotin Plateau farther south, the range's name derives from the brilliant colours that are symptomatic from from heavy mineralization comprising the material forming the range.
The Spectrum Range is one of four large
stratovolcanoes that make the
Mount Edziza-Spectrum Range complex. A predominantly
lava dome overlies a basal
shield volcano. The range is
Pliocene in age and on its southwestern flank contains
Pleistocene subglacial and subaerial cones and its northwest and southwest sides contain
Holocene pyroclastic cones and
lava flows. The youngest feature in the
volcanic complex could be
The Ash Pit.
