Cracker Creek Cone Elevation 1,895 m (6,217 ft) Location Location British Columbia, Canada Range Teslin Plateau (southern Yukon Plateau) Coordinates 59°42′N 133°24′W / 59.70°N 133.40°W Geology Type Cinder cone Age of rock Holocene Volcanic arc/belt Northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province Last eruption Unknown Cracker Creek Cone is a small cinder cone in northwestern British Columbia. A large lava flow that partly filled Ruby Creek may have originated from this cone. The lower west side of the cone appears to be partly covered by glacial till suggesting that the cone is older than the most recent glacial advances down Ruby Creek. Cracker Creek Cone is in the Northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province and is one of the three young volcanic cones in the Atlin Volcanic Field.
