| Description: | Oblique aerial view of Ben Hiant, south coast of Ardnamurchan. Highland Region. Ben Hiant forms an extinct Tertiary volcano, it is the earliest major igneous event of the Ardnamurchan central igneous complex. Much of the activity of this volcano was highly explosive pyroclastic acid magmatism involving the formation of coarse agglomerates erupted in a sub-aerial environment. Later massive intrusions of quartz-dolerite cone-sheets form the main mass of the mountain and the principal intrusions of this early igneous centre on Ardnamurchan. |
