Cradle Mountain, Dove Lake, Tasmanian Wilderness, Australia.

A bushwalker admires Cradle Mountain reflecting in Dove Lake, in Cradle Mountain - Lake Saint Clair National Park, Tasmania, Australia. The Tasmanian Wilderness was honored as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982, expanded in 1989. The most extensive dolerite formations in the world dominate the landscape of Tasmania, where magma intruded into a thin veneer of Permian and Triassic rocks over perhaps a million years during the Jurassic breakup of supercontinent Gondwana in the Southern Hemisphere, forming vast dolerite/diabase sills and dike swarms. (North American geologists use the term diabase instead of dolerite to refer to the fresh, unaltered rock.) Published in Wilderness Travel 2008 Catalog of Adventures. Published in "Light Travel: Photography on the Go" book by Tom Dempsey 2009, 2010. For licensing options, please inquire.
