Mount Cayley is a potentially active stratovolcano in the Sea to Sky Country of southwestern British Columbia, Canada. Located north of Squamish and west of Whistler in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains, it rises above the Squamish River to the west and above the Cheakamus River to the east.〔 Mount Cayley consists of ridges, rounded lava domes and sharp eroded rocky pinnacles with the highest reaching in elevation.〔 It lies at the southern end of a field of glacial ice called the Powder Mountain Icefield. ==Human history== To the Squamish people, the local indigenous people of this territory, the mountain is called ''t'aḵ'taḵmu'yin tl'a in7in'a'xe7en''.〔 In their language it means "Landing Place of the Thunderbird". This name of the mountain refers to the legendary Thunderbird, a creature in North American indigenous peoples' history and culture.〔 Like The Black Tusk further south, the rock was said to have been burnt black by the Thunderbird's lightning. This mountain, like others located in the area, is considered sacred because it plays an important part in their history. The first recorded ascent of Mount Cayley was made by the mountaineers E.C. Brooks, W.G. Wheatley, B.Clegg, R.E. Knight, and Tom Fyles in 1928.〔 During this time, the party named the volcano after the late Beverley Cochrane Cayley, who was an ardent mountaineer of the executive committees of the British Columbia Mountaineering Club and the Vancouver section of the Alpine Club for several years.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://srmwww.gov.bc.ca/bcgn-bin/bcg10?name=3467 )〕 Beverley Cayley was a friend of those in the climbing party, and died on June 8, 1928, at the age of 29 in Vancouver.〔 Photographs of Mount Cayley were published in the Canadian Alpine Journal Vol XX in 1931.〔 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「Mount Cayley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
