The Great Sugarloaf and Snow


      Snowy Surgarloaf

During this time of year it snows. How nice. This is a picture of The Great Sugarloaf with snow on top.

Though only 501 metres (1,644 ft) high, its isolation from other hills, steep slopes and volcanic appearance makes it appear much taller than it is. Due to its height relative to the surrounding landscape the mountain qualifies as a  Marilyn.The Great Sugar Loaf is composed of cambrian quartzite, in contrast to the rounded mountains to the west, which are made of Devonian granite.
Some say its and extinct Volcano, some say it is in fact the remains of an ancient shoreline of a super continent that merged with another continent which eventually broke up again to the arrangement the world is in now. What do I think you ask?







ITS A LIVE VOLCANO
