Features and location

The Hazards are made of granite. Orthoclase, a pink feldspar, gives the mountains their pink tint.[2][3] The track to Wineglass Bay and lookout runs over the saddle between Mounts Mayson and Amos.

There is also a resort in Coles Bay utilising the name of the geographical feature,[4] and travel information also includes local information about locations from where the hazards can be viewed.[5]
