Mount Pelion West and Tarn, Overland Track, Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, Tasmania

            The geology of Tasmania is complex, with the world's biggest exposure of dolerite, a mafic, subvolcanic rock similar to basalt. The plateau of central Tasmania is dominated by the great extent of dolerite lava intrusions that have then been exposed, and sculpted by glacial ice sheet which moved south to north leaving erratics and moraine on the north coast and in Bass Strait. 
The cliffs and summit of Mt Pelion West reveal the dolerite, which on the summit is a field of large irregular boulders which makes a traverse very difficult.
