I am the Man From Minto© ™ ® - A Prospector Who Knows His Rocks And Stuff© ™ ® Mount Meager Massif© lahar was the largest landslide in Canadian history and one of over 20 landslides to have occurred from the Mount Meager massif in the last 10,000 years. This lahar [a large catastrophic debris avalanche] that flowed to the south, into the Lillooet Valley British Columbia, Canada, on August 6 at 3:27 a.m. PDT (UTC-7). More than 45,000,000 m3 (1.6×109 cu ft) of debris slid down Mount Meager, temporarily blocking Meager Creek and destroying local bridges, roads and equipment. The landslide was large enough to send seismic waves more than 2,000 km (1,200 mi) away into the neighbouring U.S. states of Alaska and Washington and beyond. Multiple factors led to the slide: Mount Meager's weak slopes have left it in a constant state of instability. The massif has been a source of large volcanic debris flows for the last thousands of years, many of which have reached several tens of kilometres downstream in the Lillooet River valley, to the south. It is arguably the most unstable mountain massif in Canada and may also be its most active landslide area. On the north side of the large Mt. Meager massif volcano complex lies Downton Lake Hydro Reservoir, impounded by the La Joi Dam, the uppermost of the Bridge River Project dams. The earliest identified Holocene landslide was in 7900 BP (before the present, or read it as the number of years ago). Further landslides occurred in 6250 BP, 5250 BP, 4400 BP, 2600 BP, 2400 BP, 2240. BP BP, 2170 BP, 1920 BP, 1860 BP, 870 BP, 800 BP, 630 BP, 370 BP, 210 BP, 150 BP and in 1931, 1947, 1972, 1975, 1984, 1986 and 1998. These events were attributed to structurally weak volcanic rocks, glacial unloading, recent explosive volcanism and glacial activity. The last volcano on the top of the massif, however, blew to the north 2,460 years ago, sending talus all the way to Alberta. At the Gold Bridge Golf Course, Bridge River Valley, BC you can play the nine hole course on that talus. .

Glacier Peak, located 90 kilometres [56.0 mi] south-southeast from Mt Baker in Washington State is another active volcano in the Cascadia Volcanic Arc

Glacier Peak [USGS reference] [Wikipedia reference], located 90 kilometres [56.0 mi] south-southeast from Kulshan / Mt Baker [USGS reference] [Wikipedia reference], in Washington State is another active volcano in the Cascadia Volcanic Arc [USGS reference] [Wikipedia reference],

Tucked deep inside its namesake 566,000-acre wilderness a scant 70 miles northeast of Seattle, Glacier Peak is the state's hidden volcano. At a modest 10,541 feet, its summit doesn't tower over the landscape like Rainier [USGS reference] [Wikipedia reference], Mt Baker [USGS reference] [Wikipedia reference], or Mount Adams [USGS reference] [Wikipedia reference].

Did you know that the state of Washington has several "active" volcanoes other than Mount Saint Helen's? One of these volcanoes last erupted 300 years ago, and can be found to the northeast of Seattle. This video covers the recent eruptions from Glacier Peak, and states the general hazard posed by this volcano in the future. The peak is covered by about a dozen scenic glaciers. This video was made by a geologist who is based in Arizona. This channel has a gemstone and geology related etsy store.

Volcanic evolution of the Pacific Northwest: 55 million year history

https://youtu.be/3o3IJlAHhTE   [5:11 minutes]

IRIS Earthquake Science

OSU/IRIS Collaboration--Pacific Northwest Earth-science series. Tectonics of the Pacific Northest yield a varied volcanic history. The Pacific Northwest boasts an active volcanic arc (Cascades Range), a nearby ocean ridge (Pacific Plate-Juan de Fuca Plate spreading ridge), the world’s youngest flood basalt province (Columbia River Basalt), a hot-spot chain of eastward-younging volcanoes (Yellowstone Trend), volcanism related to continental extension, and more. It is a volcanological wonderland. The western margin of North America has long been dominated by subduction and dextral transtension. This animation attempts to simplify a complex tectonic interaction through cross sections. This animation was created to accompany a Plenary talk at the 2017 IAVCEI meeting in Portland, OR.

Cascades Volcanoes: When Sleeping Giants Wake



KSPS Public TV
Published on Aug 28, 2014
For millennia, the Cascade Mountains have stood watch over the
Pacific Northwest. Millions of people, attracted by their grandeur,
have settled in their shadows. But the slumber of these majestic
sentinels is a fitful one and geologists are monitoring their ominous
rumblings. Could what they are hearing be a muted warning? The
Cascades are actually a chain of volcanoes part of the infamous Ring
of Fire that encircles the Pacific Rim. When Mt. St. Helen's erupted,
the Pacific Northwest experienced first hand the staggering power
that loomed over them...could it happen again? Journey with us to the
Philippines, Japan and Mexico to discover how other people have
survived and suffered alongside their volatile neighbors. As our own
mountains rumble and growl from deep within, now is the time to ask:
what will we do when our Sleeping Giants Wake? The Cascades are
actually a chain of volcanoes part of the infamous Ring of Fire that
encircles the Pacific Rim. When Mt. St. Helen's erupted, the Pacific
Northwest experienced first hand the staggering power that loomed
over them...could it happen again? KSPS exists to improve the quality

Mr Meager - The Mount Meager project

https://youtu.be/CSjNw0p-ptg [3:38 minutes]

Gioachino Roberti
Published on Mar 19, 2017
As consequence of climate change, the decreased thickness of the ice at Mount Meager volcano triggered the collapse of the south face of the mountain and allowed the volcanic system to manifest at the surface. 
The collapse in 2010 generated one of the largest landslide in
Canadian history and in summer 2016 for the first time large fumarole ice caves formed in one of the glaciers. Very little is known about the climate change effects on volcanoes and the resulting hazard. An international research team lead by Gio Roberti is planning to study the geology of the mountain to better understand what is going on at Mount Meager and what are the effects of climate change on volcanoes.

https://youtu.be/le-P4kEwUiA [48:58 minutes]

Documentaries Only Please
Published on Aug 21, 2017
Science Documentary hosted by Peter Venn, published by NHK broadcasted as part of NHK Great Nature series in 2013 - English narration. Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire  where most of the world's volcanoes can be found. It's a land densely clustered with volcanoes -- many still active. While making this program, the camera crew was able to capture footage from the sky and on the ground. They even got very close to the lava dome of the most dangerous volcano in Eurasia, and fumaroles -- fissures that release steam and volcanic gases. In addition, this adventure includes a visit to a mysterious caldera that creates a number of different minerals. Take a look at this peninsula, pulsating with the primal rhythms of the planet.

A volcano is a rupture on the crust of a planetary mass object, such as the Earth, which allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface. Earth's volcanoes occur because the planet's crust is broken into 17 major, rigid tectonic plates that float on a hotter, softer layer in the Earth's mantle. Therefore, on Earth, volcanoes are generally found where tectonic plates are diverging or converging. For example, a mid-oceanic ridge, such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, has volcanoes caused by divergent tectonic plates pulling apart; the Pacific Ring of Fire has volcanoes caused by convergent tectonic plates coming together. Volcanoes can also form where there is stretching and thinning of the crust's interior plates, e.g., in the East African Rift and the Wells Gray-Clearwater volcanic field [Wells Gray-Clearwater volcanic field – Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wells_Gray-Clearwater_volcanic_field] (The Wells Gray-Clearwater volcanic field, also called the Clearwater Cone Group, is a potentially active monogenetic volcanic field in east-central British Columbia.)
In addition, there is the Rio Grande Rift in North America. This type of volcanism falls under the umbrella of "plate hypothesis" volcanism. Volcanism away from plate boundaries has also been explained as mantle plumes. These so-called "hotspots",[ Hotspot (geology) – Wikipedia; for example Hawaii, are postulated to arise from up welling diapirs [Diapir – Wikipedia ] with magma from the core–mantle boundary, 3,000 km deep in the Earth. Volcanoes are usually not created where two tectonic plates slide past one another.
