Location Maitland Volcano[edit]

Hi, I guess the indicated Location could not be correct.. " 57.066667, -129.116667 " or the elevation is wrong. Please check , e.g. in Google Earth.

The coords are correct. The remains of Maitland Volcano linger on several ridges. Volcanoguy 17:19, 26 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Vulcanoguy, thanks for the quick answer....ok,but where is then the correct position of the highest point (2514 m) of the vulcano? The elevation of the indicated position could be approximately 1750 m high. Cheers Erde2000 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Erde2000 new (talk • contribs) 09:12, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea where the highest point is. According to the book Volcanoes of North America: United States and Canada, the elevation is 1,828 m to 2,514 m and the given coords are 57.4°N, 129.7°W. The coords for Maitland in the Catalogue of Canadian volcanoes are 57.40°N, 129.7°W. Volcanoguy 10:51, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
