Köppen climate type:
Mount North is about 15 kilometres south-east of the Gibb River Road and Fairfield-Leopold Downs Road intersection. The hill looks like an old volcano. It is structurally similar to the 81 Mile Vent Mindat locality nearby. It is a sequence of pyroclastics intruded by thin sills of fine grained olivine-leucite lamproite. There is a late central core of medium grained olivine-diopside-potassic richterite-leucite lamproite. The proportion of pyroclastics however is less than at 81 Mile Vent. The central core forms a columnar jointed mass up to 90 metres above the surrounding plain.
