	Mount Bursey consists of two coalescing shield volcanoes, namely [[Hutt Peak]] and Koerner Bluff. Each shield contains a 4–5 km (2.5–3.1 mi) diameter caldera at its summit. Potassium–argon dating has indicated both shields formed during the Miocene epoch, with volcanism at Hutt Peak occurring as recently as 0.49 million years ago.

'''Mount Bursey''' is a broad, ice-covered mountain, 2,780 meters (9,120 ft) high, which forms the eastern end of the [[Flood Range]] in [[Westarctica]]

==Discovery and name==
It was discovered by members of the United States [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] Service (USAS) on aerial flights in 1940, and named for Jacob Bursey, member of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition (1928–30) and dog-driver with the USAS party which sledged to the west end of the Flood Range in December 1940.

==Volcanism==
Mount Bursey consists of two coalescing shield volcanoes, namely Hutt Peak and Koerner Bluff. Each shield contains a 4–5 km (2.5–3.1 mi) diameter caldera at its summit. Potassium–argon dating has indicated both shields formed during the Miocene epoch, with volcanism at Hutt Peak occurring as recently as 0.49 million years ago.

Starbuck Crater is a volcanic cone on the mountain.
