A group of basaltic cones and lava flows (the Miles Canyon basalts) in south-central Yukon near the capital city of Whitehorse.
The two small reddish-brown areas near the center of this image are cinder cones of the Alligator Lake volcanic field. Lava flows from the two cinder cones topping a small shield volcano traveled to the north. The alkali olivine basalt to basanitic lava flows are about 6 x 10 km in width and contain abundant xenoliths.
