CanuckChick User ID: 25434424 Canada 11/05/2012 10:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The most recent volcanic eruption in Canada took place about 150 years ago on the border between British Columbia and the Alaskan Panhandle. The small volcano, Lava Forks, erupted in fire-fountaining and lava flows that filled the valley leading away from the volcano. This eruption had a huge impact on the fish, plant and animal inhabitants of the valley, but there is no record of its impact on humans, nor that it was even witnessed by humans. The 1775 eruption of Tseax volcano, a bit farther south, was different: it had a devastating impact on the Nisga’a people. It killed more than 2000 inhabitants and destroyed two villages, the best salmon spawning streams and significant hunting and berry-picking areas. In today’s dollars, the losses would have been in the millions. Although usually less deadly than lava flows, ash (pulverised volcanic rock) spread by upper atmosphere winds from the volcano can have a huge impact. Modern eruptions, such as the May 18, 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, demonstrate how devastating ash can be. The ash permeates everything over a broad area, leading to widespread devastation. Ash fall from an eruption on the Alaska–Yukon boundary (Mount Churchill) 1900 years ago is thought to have led to the migration of the First Nations people living in the area. More than 300 000 square kilometres of the region were buried under ash ranging in thickness from a few millimetres to tens of centimetres. The ‘snow that didn’t melt’ affected vegetation and animals, creating deprivation and death by starvation. Although no economic figures exist for the Tseax or Churchill eruptions, if such events were to occur today they would cause millions of dollars in damage. An explosive eruption like Mount Churchill would impact much of western Canada and have far-reaching consequences for the Canadian economy. _________________________________________________________ Natural Resources Canada (government website) The Atlas of Canada (subtitle) |

Iskut User ID: 25434424 Canada 11/05/2012 11:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here is info on the OP's village of Iskut in BC Canada: Iskut, British Columbia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Iskut Iskut Location of Iskut in British Columbia Coordinates: 57°50′00″N 129°59′00″WCoordinates: 57°50′00″N 129°59′00″W Country Canada Province British Columbia Area code(s) 250, 778 Iskut is a small, mostly aboriginal community in the Stikine Country of northwestern British Columbia. It is located on Highway 37, at the north end of Eddontenajon Lake just south of Dease Lake and the crossing of the Stikine River. The community of Eddontenajon used to be located nearby. Contents [hide] 1 Community 2 Location 3 Recreation 4 Coal-bed methane conflict 5 References [edit] Community Iskut is the home of the Iskut First Nation, a group of the Tahltan people, which also includes the communities of Dease Lake and Telegraph Creek. Two bands comprise the Tahltan Nation, the Iskut First Nation and the Tahltan First Nation or Tahltan Indian Band.[1] Iskut Indian Reserve No. 6 and Kluachon Lake Indian Reserve No. 1 are the two formal Indian Reserves in the vicinity.[2][3] Klappan Independent Day School, the Iskut First Nation Band Office and the Iskut Valley Health Services building are the primary public service amenities. Shopping and gas can be purchased at Kluachon Center. [edit] Location Iskut is located at the 407 km mark on Highway 37 and is approximately 6–7 hours from both Terrace and Smithers. <snip> Coal-bed methane conflict Main article: Klappan Coalbed Methane Project Iskut is presently well known for the protracted disagreement over the use of the area for resource extraction. The rapid expansion of mining throughout the area has given rise to much controversy over the level of consultation given to local First Nations' people. Of particular public interest has been Royal Dutch Shell's plans for coalbed methane extraction on the Klappan Plateau, the Tahltan people's traditional hunting and trapping territory. Klappan has been named the Sacred Headwaters because it forms the headwaters of several significant salmon rivers, including the Skeena, Spatsizi and Stikine Rivers. The Spatsizi Plateau region has occasionally called the "Serengeti of the North" due to the diversity and number of different species that call the area home.[citation needed] The controversy over the Sacred Headwaters is also further complicated by the different levels of Tahltan government. The Tahltan Central Council (TCC) speaks for the entire Tahltan First Nation but between the three significant communities, some people feel that TCC does not fairly represent the feelings of all communities equally. At the forefront of the battle over the Sacred Headwaters is a group of Iskut First Nation members called the Klabona Keepers. [edit] |
Iskut-Unuk User ID: 25434424 Canada 11/05/2012 11:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Link: [link to www.volcano.si.edu] Country: Canada Subregion Name: Canada Volcano Number: 1200-09- Volcano Type: Cinder cones Volcano Status: Radiocarbon Last Known Eruption: 1800 (?) Summit Elevation: 1880 m 6,168 feet Latitude: 56.58°N * 56°35'0"N Longitude: 130.55°W 130°33'0"W Eight small basaltic centers at the southern end of the Stikine volcanic belt near the Alaska border comprise the Iskut-Unuk River Cone Group, one of the youngest volcanic centers in Canada. Lava flows date back 70,000 years, but the subaerial vents produced cinder cones and lava flows that were probably all active between about 9000 and a few hundred years ago. Five of the centers produced lava flows that traveled up to about 20 km down the Iskut and Unuk River valleys and their tributaries. The three remaining centers are products of ice-contact volcanism that formed pillow lava, hyaloclastite breccias, and scoria. The Iskut-Unuk flows are similar in mineralogy and contain abundant crustal xenoliths. Vents in the Iskut River Canyon area produced at least 10 lava flows and the Lava Fork vents at least three, the latest of which erupted within the past few hundred years. |

OP is telling us that much steam has been observed escaping from the volcanoes over the last 48 hours. Not sure what OP first language is, from the syntax maybe Inuktitut ? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 27018718 Mexico 11/06/2012 01:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This thread title is intriguing. Coded and/or misspelled... Could Achack = ash attack, attack, AC Hack, Eruption, Earthquake. Maybe one of these in the local lingo of Tahltan? Could Volcano be referencing an actual name of a volcano called The Volcano (56.42N 130.85W) in BC's Northern Cordilleran volcanic range? The Volcano is part of the Iskut-Unuk River Cones ("a group of eight small basaltic centres)"? The Volcano is about 100 miles SSW of Iskut village (Kitimat-Stikine, 57.85N 129.98W). The last lava flows were erupted from The Volcano about 150 years ago. List of Northern Cordilleran volcanoes [link to en.wikipedia.org] [link to en.wikipedia.org] |

Nor am I sure that is the volcano OP is discussing. This information could be quite pertinent as it is not unheard of to have volcanoes erupt in the area of large EQs. This could be big. There are lots of volcano's up and down that coast. Some dormant and not listed either. Pacific Rim Park has a super volcano. There is also a little known one in Hundred Mile. Things are picking up fast. Go watch the video at Extincton Protocol posted today talking about the speed at which things are happening.
