Volcanodle
Puzzle #80 was Tuya Volcanic Field.
A broad region with numerous formerly subglacial volcanic cones known as tuyas forms the Tuya Volcanic Field near Tuya Lake and a broad area to the N. Although tuyas, the products of Pleistocene subglacial eruptions, are perhaps better known in Iceland, these predominantly flat-topped basaltic table mountains derive their name from the Tuya region in the Cassiar Mountains and Tanzilla Plateau area of northern British Columbia.

What the record says
Puzzle 80 ran on 27 Sep 2026 and the answer was Tuya Volcanic Field, played with 6 guesses against 8 columns. On the record: Country - Canada; Region - North America Volcanic Regions; Type - volcanic-field; Tectonic setting - intraplate; Elevation - 1500-3000; Rock type - basalt; Historically observed - not-observed. 1 of the 8 columns is blank in the source (Last eruption), so nobody could score it either way.
Volcanodle builds its record from Global Volcanism Program, Smithsonian Institution (Venzke, E. (ed.), Volcanoes of the World, volcano.si.edu). The description above comes from the same place the game credits on every reveal: A verbatim excerpt of the volcano's GVP Geological Summary. The puzzle itself is still playable in the archive, and every answer that has been and gone is listed on the past-answers page.
