Mont Brome is part of the Monteregian Hills in southern Quebec. Its summit stands 553 m (1,814 ft) above sea level. Mont Brome might be the deep extension of a vastly eroded ancient volcanic complex, which was probably active about 125 million years ago.^[1] The mountain was created when the North American Plate moved westward over the New England hotspot,^[1] along with the other mountains of the Monteregian Hills.
