Mount Hatfield is a 2,227-metre (7,306-foot) mountain summit located in the Canadian Cascades of British Columbia, Canada.
Description
Mt. Hatfield is the second-highest summit of Manson Ridge which is a subrange of the
History
The first ascent of the summit was made in 1956 by Roy Mason and Joe Hutton.[4] The mountain's toponym was officially adopted on June 20, 1978, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.[3][5] The mountain's name was submitted by the Outdoor Recreation Council of British Columbia to honor conservationist Harley Hatfield (1905–2000) of Penticton and his father, Seaman Hatfield (1875–1964).[4][5]
Geology
Mount Hatfield is related to the Chilliwack batholith, which intruded the region 26 to 29 million years ago after the major orogenic episodes in the region. This is part of the Pemberton Volcanic Belt, an eroded volcanic belt that formed as a result of subduction of the Farallon Plate starting 29 million years ago.[6][7]
During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured the landscape.[8] The U-shaped cross sections of the river valleys are a result of recent glaciation. Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.
The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the
