'''Kawdy Mountain''' is a [[subglacial mound]] on the [[Kawdy Plateau]], the northernmost sub-plateau of the [[Stikine Plateau]] in northwestern [[British Columbia]], [[Canada]]. It consists of nearly horizontal beds of [[basalt]]ic lava, capping outward dipping beds of fragmental [[volcanic rock]]s and last erupted in [[Pleistocene]]. Kawdy Mountain is one of many basaltic volcanic features of the Stikine Volcanic Belt, which is forming because the North American tectonic plate is stretching slightly as it moves to the west.
