In Western Canada, thousands of people witnessed a volcanic eruption occur in 1898. And yet, to this day we have never been able to find the volcano which produced this eruption. Thus, a volcano is likely missing in the high glaciers of British Columbia, likely to be discovered in the future. This video will discuss this mysterious eruption, and where it is most likely to have occurred at.

Disclaimer: Please do not go venturing out into the remote wilderness in an attempt to find this missing volcano. Not only is there a chance that this reported volcano might not exist (this wouldn't be the first time a reported "volcano" witnessed by numerous people turned out to have never existed), but the area is frigid cold, has animal hazards such as bears and wolves, fairly frequent avalanches near mountains, and no cell signal over much of the region. I am only suggesting you look for an existing ash layer on your own property (if you own property in the region) near Atlin, and only if it is safe to do so.
