Milbanke Sound Group is a group of young basaltic cinder cones in British Columbia, Canada. It includes the volcanoes, Kitasu Hill, Lake Island, Lady Douglas Island, Helmet Peak and Lady Island. The basaltic cinder cones could possibly be holocene age and other vents may be as old as Tertiary age.[2] The Tertiary vents are believed to have originated from the arrival of the Anahim hotspot.
