About

Mount Pelion East is a mountain located in the Central Highlands region of Tasmania, Australia. The mountain is situated within the Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park.

With an elevation of 1,461 metres (4,793 ft) above sea level, the mountain is the 25th highest mountain in Tasmania, slightly higher than the better known Frenchmans Cap at 1,446 metres (4,744 ft). Unlike Mount Pelion West, Pelion East is not a massive mountain, more pinnacle-like, the spire shape having been caused by harsh glacial erosion many thousands of years ago.
