Cradle Mt. Series #7 Mountain, Lake - a photo on Flickriver

Cradle Mt. Series #7 Mountain, Lake

            Here they are finally, Cradle Mountain and Dove Lake. This pair would have to be the single most photographed combination in Tasmania. Normally in winter, the peaks would be covered in snow but the morning when this was taken - crystal clear blue sky.

Cradle Mountain is actually the right hand (west) side of the two peaks. The other is known as 'Little Horn'. The view is also flanked by Hanson's Lookout (left) and Marion's Lookout. Glacier Rock at lower left. Other notable items - the unconformity that Little Horn sits on - the horizontal strata is sandstone while the peak is comprised of dolerite. A couple of the walking tracks around the lake and peaks can be picked out as well.

The whole centre of Tasmania was subject to sheet glaciation in the last ice age with Cradle Mt. being the source for a number of large glaciers. Dove Lake is dammed by a moraine and most of the exposed bedrock exhibits sign of the significant movement of ice.
