geo.wikisort.org - MountainsThe Cassiar Mountains (French: Chaîne des Cassiars) are the most northerly group of the Northern Interior Mountains in the Canadian province of British Columbia and also extend slightly into the southernmost Yukon Territory. They lie north and west of the Omineca Mountains, west of the northernmost Rockies and the Rocky Mountain Trench, north of the Hazelton Mountains and east of the Boundary Ranges. They form a section of the Continental Divide, that, in this region, separates water drainage between the Arctic and Pacific Oceans. Physiographically, they are a section of the larger Yukon-Tanana Uplands province, which in turn are part of the larger Intermontane Plateaus physiographic division.
Mountain range in British Columbia and Yukon Territory, Canada
In the western Cassiar Mountains lie the remnants of a prehistoric shield volcano called the Maitland Volcano which formed between 5 and 4 million years ago during the Pliocene period.
The highest mountain in the Cassiar Mountains is Thudaka Peak, at 2,748 m (9,016 ft).[1]

Las montañas Cassiar (en francés: Chaîne des Cassiars) son el grupo más septentrional de las montañas del Interior del Norte en la provincia canadiense de Columbia Británica y también se extienden ligeramente hacia el Territorio del Yukón más meridional.[1] Se encuentran al norte y al oeste de las montañas Omineca, al oeste de las montañas Rocosas más septentrionales y la Fosa de las Montañas Rocosas, al norte de las montañas Hazelton y al este de las cordilleras Limítrofes. Forman una sección de la división Continental que, en esta región, separa la vertiente entre los océanos Ártico y Pacífico. Fisiográficamente, son una sección de la más extensa provincia de las Tierras Altas del Yukón-Tanana, que a su vez forman parte de la mayor división fisiográfica de las mesetas Intermontanas.
