Geology

Lying in the Muskwa Ranges, Mount Lloyd George is a castellated limestone and quartzite peak.
The diamictite sedimentary deposits of the mountain, several kilometers thick, date to the late Precambrian and probably have a glacial-marine origin.
The age of the diamictite is not certain. It may be associated with either the Toby or the Vreeland formations of the North American Cordillera.

Ice field

The Lloyd George Icefield in 1998 covered over.
There is a major concentration of glaciers around the mountain. The icefield is about from north to south and from east to west, bounded by the Warneford River and the Tuchodi River.
The small Llanberis Glacier flows west from the icefield to Hawarth Lake. The larger Kwadacha and Lloyd George glaciers drain the icefield to the east.

Name

The mountain was named by Paul Leland Haworth after David Lloyd George, the British Prime Minister towards the end of World War I. In the words of Raymond M. Patterson,
