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 consists of two coalescing shield volcanoes, namely [[Hutt Peak]] and Koerner Bluff.
