==History== The name of this ridge was officially adopted on January 2, 1980, after having been submitted by the [[Geological Survey of Canada]]. It is [[Tahltan language|Tahltan]] in origin and translates to ''stone fire''.<ref name="BCGNIS"/>
==Geology== Tsekone Ridge is a [[subglacial mound]] that formed in the [[Pleistocene]] epoch when this area was buried beneath glacial ice during the last [[ice age]]. It is associated with the [[Mount Edziza volcanic complex]] which in turn forms part of the [[Northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://gsc.nrcan.gc.ca/volcanoes/cat/volcano_e.php?id=svb_tsr_083|title=Tsekone Ridge|work=Catalogue of Canadian volcanoes |publisher=[[Natural Resources Canada]] |date=2005-08-19 |access-date=2021-10-09|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071111155154/http://gsc.nrcan.gc.ca/volcanoes/cat/volcano_e.php?id=svb_tsr_083|archive-date=November 11, 2007}}</ref>
