Capricorn Mountain is one of the several volcanic peaks of the Mount Meager massif in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. The slopes of Capricorn Mountain appear to be more gentle than other volcanic peaks of the massif. The mountain consists of a boomerang-shaped ridge, with one summit on each end of the boomerang and the main summit in the centre. On August 6, 2010, a large debris flow started in the vicinity of the Capricorn Mountain. The dam created by the debris flow, on Meager Creek, lasted about one day and was about high, and impounded water in a temporary lake about long. The debris flow also crossed the Lillooet River downstream and wiped out a forestry road on the opposite bank of the Lillooet River. The response of emergency personnel, fearing a sudden failure of the dam on Meager Creek, was to direct residents on the Lillooet River floodplain, in the village of Pemberton downstream and in the Lil'wat community at Mount Currie to evacuate the area. ==See also== *List of volcanoes in Canada *Cascade Volcanoes *Garibaldi Volcanic Belt *Volcanism of Canada *Volcanism of Western Canada 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Capricorn Mountain」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
