This NASA Landsat Thematic Mapper mosaic shows the In Ezzane volcanic field along the border region of Algeria and Niger. The In Ezzane volcanic field, with lava fields appearing blue-gray in this image, covers about 500 km² at the eastern end of Hoggar (Ahaggar) volcanic province. This poorly known and isolated volcanic field erupted through basement rocks at the western end of the Saharan meta-craton.
