===Subglacial volcanoes=== {{Main|Subglacial volcano}} Subglacial volcanoes develop underneath [[ice cap]]s. They are made up of lava plateaus capping extensive pillow lavas and [[palagonite]]. These volcanoes are also called table mountains, [[tuya]]s,{{sfn|Philpotts|Ague|2009|p=66}} or (in Iceland) mobergs.<ref>{{cite book|editor1-last=Allaby|editor1-first=Michael|title=A dictionary of geology and earth sciences|location=Oxford|publisher=Oxford University Press|isbn=9780199653065|edition=Fourth|chapter=Tuya|date=July 4, 2013}}</ref> Very good examples of this type of volcano can be seen in Iceland and in [[British Columbia]]. The origin of the term comes from [[Tuya Butte]], which is one of the several tuyas in the area of the [[Tuya River]] and [[Tuya Range]] in northern British Columbia. Tuya Butte was the first such [[landform]] analysed and so its name has entered the geological literature for this kind of volcanic formation.<ref>{{cite journal|doi=10.2475/ajs.245.9.560|last=Mathews|first=W.
