Glass House Mountains, Mountain range in Queensland, Australia
The Glass House Mountains consist of eleven distinct volcanic peaks that rise dramatically from the flat coastal plain of Queensland's Sunshine Coast region.
Captain James Cook named these mountains in 1770 when their profiles reminded him of glass furnaces from his Yorkshire homeland in England.
The mountains hold deep spiritual meaning for the Jinibara and Gubbi Gubbi peoples, with Mount Beerwah representing the mother figure in Aboriginal traditions.
Mount Ngungun and Mount Tibrogargan offer established walking trails and climbing routes, while visitor centers provide information about the geological formations.
Each mountain displays distinct volcanic formations, including vertical columns known as the Organ Pipes on Mount Beerwah, formed 27 million years ago.
