“Would you like to. see the
famous. volcano that erupted
the Nass Vailey lava?

Just 80 kilometers north of ©

Terrace is.. the most recent
volcano in Canada, which erup-
ted sometime between 1650 and.
1750; with great loss of life and,
property. The lava. flow itself,

. well-known as a “moonscape”__
of strange rock, has dozens of |

interesting features: which the |

average person does not: see §
while driving through it: perfect- - «
ly. preserved casts of logs, with

the grain of the wood ‘clearly

visible; lava that looks like coils -

of rope: underground © rivers; -
Strange collapse formations with
- desert plants:on one level, lush: .
gardens of fern and moss two to.

three meters below; and more.

. These . formations. and - the *
cinder cone where ~ the. lava’.

started will be featured in a slide
program Wednesday, Sept. 27,

in the Terrace library activity

room at 7:30 p.m. Margaret
Vanderberg, who has for several
years enjoyed exploring the lava
bed and asking questions of

-vulcanologists, will share her

slides and information in this
program sponsored by the City
of Terrace.

Those who want to see the

cinder cone itself (the dormant |
-yolcano), should sign up ‘by.
Sept. 22 at the Terrace Parks

and Recreation office . (phone
638-1174) for an organized hike
to the crater. Fitness is required,
as the hike is fairly tough and
there is no trail.

’ The reward of this effort is to

" step out of the trees onto the top

rim of a volcano, with a crater
below on one hand and the lava
bed far below on the other.
There are several dormant
volcanic vents in the area, and
two caves leading under the lava
flow, which the hiking group
will explore.

‘Skeena District geologist Dave
Lefebure commented on visiting
the area recently, that the

‘Fissure Cave’? at the Aiyansh-

Volcano was unlike any in his
experience. Hikers can peer into
the vent of a spatter cone and see
their companions 12 meters
below in the ‘underground
passage where lava and gasses
emerged.

This formation and others are"

very fragile, and there is concern
not only that hikers take proper

safety precautions, but that the:

formations must be: protected,

which is not adequately done by.

_ The ministries of Tourism,

will be approached to provide
funding estimated at $324,000.

‘*T am very enthusiastic about
the project,’’ said Cooper. ““We
have so many talented people in
the visual and performing arts.

‘Our northern artistic com-
munity needs to have an ex-

posure equal to other regions of ©

Canada,” she said. ‘This will
have a positive impact on the
potential artist as well as the
established performers. It will
promote or awaken interest of
tourists and potential customers,
and will be a real boost to the
