  • Geology of Strathcona Provincial Park
    Geology of Strathcona Provincial Park Vancouver Island Geanticlinal axis............ Major thrust fault............ STRATHCONA PARK Rock Types Tertiary volcanic rocks Metchosin volcanic rocks Leech River gneisses Nanaimo sediments Island and Westcoast intrusive rocks Bonanza volcanic rocks Karmutsen volcanic rocks and Quatsino limestone Sicker and Buttle Lake volcanic rocks The location of Strathcona Park on a geological map of Vancouver Island. The major types of rocks, sediments, volcanics and intrusives are shown with different colour coding. Detailed geology is presented on the large geology map of Strathcona Park. Introduction The scenery of Strathcona park is dramatic. High mountain peaks, deep shaded valleys, lakes and waterfalls are all there in magnificent profusion. From the valley floors, clothed in mature forest, to the wildflower-carpeted alpine meadows it is easy to be impressed. It is also easy to forget that beneath your feet lies a history stretching back 380 million years. It is a history of violent volcanic eruptions on ancient seafloors and quiet interludes when gardens of sea lilies waved in gentle ocean currents. It is a history of rocks torn and folded by the extraordinary forces which can move continents, and of mountain ranges sculpted by the immensely thick ice sheets which only vanished a few thousand years ago. No matter how long your visit, or whatever your interest, a knowledge of the geology of Strathcona Park will enhance your enjoyment of this spectacularly beautiful area. Whether you are planning an adventurous hike, or do not intend to stray far from the highway, the rocks are there for you to contemplate and enjoy.
