Mount Pelion East, Mountain summit in Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, Tasmania, Australia
Mount Pelion East rises to 1,486 meters above sea level, featuring a distinctive spire-like shape formed through glacial erosion of dolerite rock.
The mountain stands as a testament to Tasmania's geological evolution, with its dolerite composition dating back to the Jurassic period 185 million years ago.
The mountain holds deep connections to Tasmanian Aboriginal communities who have maintained spiritual and cultural relationships with this land for generations.
The summit can be accessed via a side track from the Overland Track, with the nearest base at Pelion Hut requiring advance booking from November to April.
The mountain's position offers unobstructed views of Mount Ossa, while its eastern slopes mark the boundary of the Murchison River catchment area.
