**Armadillo Peak** is a 7.5-million-year-old [caldera](/source/Caldera), located about 3 km north of [Bourgeaux Creek](/source/Bourgeaux_Creek) and northeast of [Raspberry Pass](/source/Raspberry_Pass), [British Columbia](/source/British_Columbia), [Canada](/source/Canada). It is south of [Mount Edziza](/source/Mount_Edziza) and is overlapped by the [Ice Peak](/source/Ice_Peak) [central volcano](/source/Central_volcano), which was formed during the early [Pleistocene](/source/Pleistocene). Its [caldera](/source/Caldera) is largely destroyed by [glaciers](/source/Glacier). It is part of the [Mount Edziza volcanic complex](/source/Mount_Edziza_volcanic_complex), which is made of [basaltic](/source/Basalt) [lava](/source/Lava) flows.
