Mount Lucia ( Malay: Gunung Lucia) is a volcanic cone mountain located at the Tawau Division of Sabah, Malaysia. [1] It reaches a height of approximately 1,201 metres (3,940 ft). [2]
The mountain is formed through the late Pleistocene volcanisms. [3] [4] [5] Together with Mount Maria in the Tawau volcanic field, the mountains are made up of Pleistocene dacite. [4]
Since 1979, it has been a part of Tawau Hills Park. Jungle trekking activities are served by the park where the forest trail also leads to Mount Magdalena and Mount Maria. [6]
There are three main peaks in the form of extinct volcanoes, which were last active about 27,000 years ago, namely Mt Magdalena, Mt Lucia and Mt Maria.
