White Horse Bluff is a subaqueous volcano in Wells Gray-Clearwater volcanic field in south-west British Columbia. White Horse Bluff formed by repeated subaqueous explosions, the volcano eventually built up above the water level. It was fed by dykes cutting through the hyaloclastite and ceased erupting soon after breaching the surface of the water. White Horse Bluff is the eroded remnant that marks the place of a violent eruption.
