THE GEOLOGY OF THE GLASS HOUSE MOUNTAINS

The question is often put, “are the Glasshouse Mountains the remnants of old volcanoes?” the short answer is no, as they are magma intrusions that were formed and matured underground some 25 million years ago in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Queensland, Australia.

Great video, they are volcanic intrusions mountains. People sometimes incorrectly refer to them as the main intrusives of a volcano, but this is incorrect. Mount Coonowrin, Beerwah and Ngungun among others display prominent cooling columns. The SEQ region is full of volcanic structures too, such as Main Range, Focal Peak and the Tweed Volcano containing Mount Warning/Wollumbin.

Well done, Certainly the best video on the internet for anyone wanting to understand the Glasshouse mountains. Really can't see why 1 in 3 have given the thumbs down. You do really have to wonder about people these

Great footage of the climbing trail up Beerwah, and great info/animations. If you pause the video you'll see people at different stages of the scramble.

Great video. Very well explained. What is the name of the pyramid shaped mountain behind you around 4.38 ? Is this the pyrmid shaped mountain you can see from as far away as the Gold Coast? Thanks.

No there is a story behind the class mountain this guy got bad luck for climbing it I’m just saying you should really go ask the owners of this land and then ask them a story about it before you go telling people what it actually is
