The range includes Mount Wrangell has been active historically, and Mount Churchill which has had two large-magnitude explosive eruptions in the last 2,000 years that blanketed most of the Yukon with volcanic ash. Other volcanoes in the range include Felsite Creek, and the Rabbit Mountain. It formed as a result of melting of the crust due to subduction of the Pacific plate beneath the North American plate at the Aleutian Islands.
