Hi Volcanoguy, I'm picking this review up. I'll ping you in a few days when I'm done! grungaloo (talk) 19:52, 17 January 2024 (UTC)

Hey Volcanoguy, this is an easy pass. The article is well written (I apologize if my comments were nitpicky), it strikes a great balance between broadness and detail, and my source spot check is all good. There's nothing here even remotely close to requiring rework, and I think it's well on its way to being FA if that's where you intend to take it.

Excellent work, and congratulations! grungaloo (talk) 20:50, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

• Lakelse Lake, Kitsumkalum Lake and Lava Lake are the only medium-sized lakes in the Nass Mountains Ecosection - What's meant by "medium-sized lakes" here? There's no mention of "large-sized lakes" so are these the biggest in the region? Consider explaining this further or saying their the largest lakes in the area for clarity.
  • Reworded. Volcanoguy 17:23, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
• "Lichens and mosses cover large portions of a lava flow sequence originating from Tseax Cone." - Swap "a lava flow" for "most lava flow sequences". Minor nitpick, but the source indicates that lichen/moss covers most of the lava flows, the way this is written sounds like it only covers a singular lava flow.
  • A lava flow sequence would be a collection of lava flows. Volcanoguy 17:23, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
• "Melita Lake and Lava Lake have ponded behind the lava flow sequence" - Sounds says that ponds exist, not sure what's meant by ponded.
  • See pond: "To block the flow of water so that it can escape only through evaporation or seepage; to dam." Volcanoguy 17:44, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
• "although Lava Lake had already existed before the lava was issued; it merely increased in depth" - swap the semicolon for an "and".
  • I think it's fine how it is. Volcanoguy 17:48, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
• "continue to develop on the lava flows in an increasingly wetter and milder climate" - Swap this around a bit: "as the climate becomes increasingly wetter and milder"
  • That doesn't seem to flow too well with the rest of the sentence. Volcanoguy 17:53, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
