The Active Volcano in Canada; The Spectrum Range

A 2,000 foot or 610 meter wide young explosion crater. A 5 kilometer long lava flow. And, a wide range of beautiful colors marking eroded lava domes. This is the story of one of the world's most unique and special volcanoes due to its beauty, being known as the Spectrum Range.
