Global Volcanism Program | Image GVP-05506

Sunset Crater (left) and adjacent cinder cones are seen here from the west across the meadows of Bonito Park.  Sunset Crater and adjacent cones were erupted along a 10-km-long, NW-SE-trending line, with Sunset Crater being the NW-most vent.  The Sunset Crater eruptions severly affected Sinagua Indians living in the area, who temporarily evacuated the region. Photo by Lee Siebert, 1996 (Smithsonian Institution).
