Wetalth Ridge

Wetalth Ridge is an isolated ridge in northern British Columbia, Canada, located southwest of Tatogga and south of Telegraph [Creek, British Columbia|Telegraph Creek]. It lies on the southwest side of Little Arctic Lake at the southwest corner of Mount [Edziza Provincial Park].

History

Wetalth Ridge was named on January 2, 1980 by the Geological Survey of Canada to recall a small group of wandering and exploited outcasts from the Tahltans called "Wetalth" people.

Wetalth Ridge is a volcanic feature associated with the Mount Edziza volcanic complex which in turn forms part of the Northern Cordilleran [Volcanic Province]. It is a subglacial mound that formed in the Pleistocene epoch when this area was buried beneath glacial ice during the last ice age.
