'''Wetalth Ridge''' is an isolated [[ridge]] in northern [[British Columbia]], [[Canada]], located {{convert|74|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} southwest of [[Tatogga]] and south of [[Telegraph Creek, British Columbia|Telegraph Creek]]. It lies on the southwest side of [[Little Arctic Lake]] at the southwest corner of [[Mount Edziza Provincial Park]].<ref name="SI"/>
==History== Wetalth Ridge was named on January 2, 1980 by the [[Geological Survey of Canada]] to recall a small group of wandering and exploited outcasts from the [[Tahltan]]s called "Wetalth" people.<ref name="SI">{{cite bcgnis|id=21024|name=Wetalth Ridge}}</ref>
==Geology== Wetalth Ridge is a volcanic feature associated with the [[Mount Edziza volcanic complex]] which in turn forms part of the [[Northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province]]. It is a [[subglacial mound]] that formed in the [[Pleistocene]] epoch when this area was buried beneath glacial ice during the last [[ice age]].<ref>[http://gsc.nrcan.gc.ca/volcanoes/cat/volcano_e.php?id=svb_wrg_102 Catalogue of Canadian volcanoes: Wetalth Ridge]</ref>
