Abstract
The only notable concentration of earthquakes in the Canadian Cordillera away from the coastal zone occurs in the McNaughton Lake region of British Columbia, off the eastern end of the Anahim volcanic belt. The association of these two phenomena strengthens the hypothesis that the origin of the Anahim belt is due to North America overriding a mantle hotspot and provides a possible explanation for the concentration and character of the seismicity.Keywords
