The Desolation lava field is a volcanic field associated with the Mount Edziza volcanic complex in British Columbia, Canada. It covers 150 km² on the northern end of the Mount Edziza volcanic complex and is the largest area of the youngest lava flows. The longest lava flow from the field and the volcanic complex, is about 12 km long. Eve Cone, in the middle of the field, is one of the most symmetrical and best preserved cinder cones in Canada.

Volcanoes

The volcanoes within the field include:

*Eve Cone
