Mount Quincan, Volcanic summit near Yungaburra, Australia
Mount Quincan features a 500-meter-wide crater with its main cone positioned to the northwest, standing at 886 meters above sea level in Far North Queensland.
The swamp deposits discovered within Mount Quincan's crater have been scientifically dated to approximately 7,250 years ago, establishing the minimum age of this formation.
The mountain belongs to the Atherton Tableland region, where geological studies of its deposits contribute to understanding prehistoric ecological conditions in northeast Queensland.
Visitors can access the summit through an established trail, while the southwestern section provides scoria materials used in road construction and gardening applications.
The scoria deposits of Mount Quincan contain mantle xenoliths of peridotite, making it a significant location for studying Earth's deep geological composition.
