Coffeepot Crater (left of the cone) was the source of voluminous basaltic lava flows in the Jordan Craters volcanic field of SE Oregon. The roughly 200-m-wide crater lies at the NW end of the 1.6 km3 lava field. A WSW-ENE-trending line of spatter cones in the right foreground extends towards the crater. The lava field forms one of Oregon's youngest lava flows at less than 3,200 years old. Photo by Lee Siebert, 2002 (Smithsonian Institution).
