Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.
The featured article for Wednesday, 1 July 2026, is Eve Cone.
Eve Cone, also known as Eve's Cone, is a cinder cone in Cassiar Land District of northwestern British Columbia, Canada. It has an elevation of 1,740 metres (5,710 feet) and is one of several volcanic cones in the Desolation Lava Field at the northern end of the Big Raven Plateau. Situated southeast of the community of Telegraph Creek, it lies in Mount Edziza Provincial Park, one of the largest provincial parks in British Columbia. A roughly 12-kilometre-long (7.5-mile) lava field issued from Eve Cone during the Holocene and travelled down the northern side of the Big Raven Plateau. It branches out into many narrower channels, the largest extending to Buckley Lake.
Eve Cone is part of the Mount Edziza volcanic complex, which consists of a wide variety of landforms such as shield volcanoes, stratovolcanoes, lava domes and cinder cones. The cone contains a circular summit crater 45 m (148 ft) deep, but most of the lava from the volcano appears to have issued from vents around the base of the 350 m (1,150 ft) wide cone. Eve Cone is surrounded by a number of other volcanic features, including Tsekone Ridge, Pillow Ridge, Sidas Cone and the Triplex Cones. Access to the cone can be achieved via horse trails from Telegraph Creek and Iskut. Landing on nearby Buckley Lake with float-equipped aircraft is also a viable method to reach Eve Cone.
