Mount Ossa, Cradle Mountain-Lake St. Clair National Park, Tasmania

Scroll

We scrabbled up the scree slopes of Tasmania's tallest mountain on Christmas Day, surprised how the orange-flecked dolerite cut through the stark blue haze. The shape the terrain took was distinctly yonic, aptly suited to the Cradle we were exploring.

GEOLOGICAL PROFILE: A prominent horn peak shaped by Pleistocene glaciation, composed of a Jurassic dolerite sill.
