Mount Gordon is the most prominent of a group of Pleistocene and Holocene cinder cones in the northern Wrangell Mountains SE of Tanada volcano. Most are less than 100 m high, but Gordon is a composite basaltic cinder-lava cone 5 km in diameter and 625 m high. Many of the cones retain their original constructional forms (Richter, in Wood and Kienle, 1990). Construction of the largely ice-covered Gordon was preceded by the effusion of basaltic lava flows, and airfall deposits from the cone cover the area; the precise age is not known.
