Felsite Peak is an eroded volcanic outcrop in the Wrangell Volcanic Field, Yukon Territory, Canada, located 54 km south of Silver City, 8 km southwest of Snowshoe Peak and 30 km east of Pinnacle Peak.[3] Felsite Peak was named after Felsite Creek and has a triple summit on the east side of the Disappointment Glacier and at the head of Felsite Creek.[4]
It formed as a result of melting of the crust[citation needed], due to subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the North American Plate[citation needed] and last erupted during the Pliocene[5]. Like most[citation needed] volcanoes in the Yukon, it is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, that includes over 160 active volcanoes.[citation needed]
