Armadillo Peak is a 7.5 million year old stratovolcano, located about 3 km north of Bourgeaux Creek and northeast of Raspberry Pass, British Columbia, Canada. It is south of Mount Edziza and is overlapped by the Ice Peak central volcano, which was formed during the early Pleistocene. It contains a caldera largely destroyed by glaciers. It is on the Mount Edziza plateau, which is made of basaltic lava flows from the massive shield volcano of Mount Edziza.
