The Gambier Group is an Early Cretaceous aged geologic group in the southern Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Canada . It was formed on the easternmost point of the Wrangellia Terrane as a volcanic arc about 100 million years ago along a west-to southwest-dipping subduction zone.[1] This prehistoric volcanic arc is generally referred to as the Gambier arc or Gambier volcanic arc.
