Mount Fox is a 560,000-year-old cinder cone located 50 km west of Ingham, Queensland, Australia. Mount Fox has a shallow crater and a lava flow that extends away from the southern base of the cone.
The cone lies on basaltic lava flows that are 23.6 million years old. Mount Fox is famous for its volcanic crater, which was formed 100,000 years ago by a volcanic explosion.
