Ice Peak is the prominent south peak of Mount Edziza in northwestern British Columbia, Canada.[2] It is the remains of the western rim of a small caldera that occupied the summit of a stratovolcano predating the main edifice of Mount Edziza.[4] The Ice Peak stratovolcano has been largely destroyed by glacial erosion but it was active during the Holocene.[3][4] Ice Peak and the main mass of Mount Edziza are wholly known to the local Tahltan as Tenh Dẕetle which translates to Ice Mountain.[2][5]
