Squamish, a city in danger of being destroyed by a volcanic eruption. Squamish sits within a series of volcanic fields within the cascade volcanic arc. The garabaldi volcanic belt is a part of the cascade volcanic arc and the ring of fire.
We explore the 3 quadrants of the volcanic belt, starting in the south and heading through the central quadrant to the nothern end of the volcanic belt. There are many volcanic formations to observe along the way.
Mount Garabaldi is a strata volcano that is capable of destroying Squamish if it were to erupt. There is also a dam formed out of lava that could break at any time, causing devastation to the town. Nestled on the southern coast of British Columbia, Squamish is an interesting city with an incredible location in the ring of fire.
