Global Volcanism Program | Image GVP-00325
This vegetated lava dome is one of many at the Itasy volcanic field in central Madagascar. A steep-sided viscous lava flow descends to the left of the summit. Lateral levees at the margins of the flow form the distinct ridges at the lower left below a sharp bend in the lava flow.
