Tuya volcanic field
The Tuya volcanic field is a volcanic field of tuyas located in far northern British Columbia, Canada, near the border with the Yukon Territory and focused on the area of the Tuya Range, a subrange of the Stikine Ranges of the Cassiar Mountains, though some vents are in the Kawdy Plateau, the northernmost part of the Stikine Plateau. Several small shield volcanoes, and postglacial lapilli cones and lava flows have been reported in this area. The only nonglacial volcanoes in the field are Gabrielse Cone and the West Tuya lava field.

gollark: Well, according to LinkedIn, "we are responsible for supervising and performing systems analysis, messaging development, database design, and web programming based systems".
gollark: The air force is not going to complain because you say you aren't interested to some random person on Discord.
