Llangorse Mountain is a mountain in northern British Columbia, Canada, located 54 km (34 mi) southeast of Atlin on the eastern side of the head of the Gladys River. It is a volcanic feature of the vast Northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province and is the only location of megacrysts made of kaersutite in the volcanic zone.[1]
Llangorse Mountain got its name origin on October 7, 1954 from being near Llangorse Lake,[2] which gets its name from Llangorse Lake, the largest lake in South Wales, which is in turn named for the nearby village of Llangors.
