A recent collapse on the [[volcano|volcano's]] eastern side created a large [[volcanic landslide|landslide]] which dissects this side of Ruby Mountain. The volcano is the largest feature within the [[Atlin Volcanic Field]].

==November 8, 1898 eruption==

Reports were received of eruptions in the Ruby Mountain area, about {{convert|80|km|mi|abbr=on|sigfig=2}} south of [[Gladys Lake]], near the end of the 19th century. [[Miner]]s working in the area were said to be able to work during the dark nights under the glow of the eruption. However, there has been no evidence found, such as lava flows young enough to have been the site of a historical eruption.
