Eve Cone is a well-preserved black cinder cone on the Big Raven Plateau, British Columbia, Canada.[1] It is one of the 30 cinder cones on the flanks of the massive shield volcano of Mount Edziza that formed in the year 700, making it one of the most recent eruptions on the Big Raven Plateau and in Canada. Eve Cone stands by itself in the middle of the Desolation Lava Field and its distinctive shape can be seen from a long distance. Eve Cone is covered by light yellow pumice from a close by but unknown vent.[citation needed]
The cone is named after Eve Brown Edzerza, a native woman from the area, who had lost her husband, Johnny Edzerza, many years earlier during an avalanche on Mount Edziza. He was buried on the mountain but his grave marker was misspelled "Edzertza".[2]
