The Santa Clara lava flow in SW Utah split into several lobes and diverted around two islands (kipukas) of colorful cross-bedded Navajo Sandstone. Note the person standing on the left kipuka for scale. The largest kipuka of the Santa Clara flow is about 1 km in length. Photo by Lee Siebert, 1996 (Smithsonian Institution).
