The Vulcan's Thumb is a rock pinnacle in the Pacific Ranges of southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is the largest of a number of slender pinnacles protruding from the sharp summit ridge of Pyroclastic Peak, which forms part of the Mount Cayley massif.[1]
Three eruptive stages built the Mount Cayley massif, the second of which is named after the Vulcan's Thumb.[1]
