Geologist Verifies Naas Indians Tale Of 300 Year Eruption
Dr. George Hanson, arriving in British Columbia from Ottawa, confirms part of the Naas Indian legend of a volcanic eruption near Lava Lake and the Tseax River. He estimates the lava flow at about 300 years old, about 20 miles long and 10 to 15 miles wide, with a cone 300 to 400 feet high and four smaller teaser cones. The lava dammed a lake, burned vegetation, and altered local geography as salmon runs persisted nearby.
