Data from the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution
Details for: Milbanke Sound Group
The Milbanke Sound Group contains several cones, with the best preserved Kitasu Hill scoria cone on Swindle Island in the center of this July 2018 Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic (N is at the top; this image is approximately 15 km across). Nearby Lake Island and Lady Douglas Island also contain cones and lava flows. Satellite image courtesy of Planet Labs Inc., 2018 (https://www.planet.com/).

Swindle, Lake, and Lady Douglas Islands in the Milbanke Sound area of the Fiord Ranges in west-central British Columbia contain cinder cones of Holocene age. Kitasu Hill on the western side of Swindle Island is a young basaltic cone that produced lava flows that extend to the north. Other postglacial vents identified by Dolmage (1921, 1924) are correlated by lithology only and may be as old as Tertiary (Baer, 1973; Holland, 1976). Basaltic tuff breccias on Lake Island and Lady Douglas Island originated from Helmet Peak on Lady Island. Basaltic lava flows from Price and Dufferin Islands overlie adjacent beach deposits (Souther; in Wood and Kienle, 1990).
