Silent Cone, the partially forested cinder cone in the background, was the source of lava flows primarily to the south about 6500 years ago.  The well-preserved cone of Big Craters in the foreground is one of the youngest features of Craters of the Moon. Photo by Lee Siebert, 1994 (Smithsonian Institution).
