Global Volcanism Program | Image GVP-11944

The Leizhou Bandao volcanic field covers much of the southern (orange-brown colored) part of the Leizhou Peninsula, across the Qiongzhou strait north of Hainan Dao Island (bottom).  Leizhou Bandao is the northern part of the Qionglei volcano group, a 7300 km2 basaltic-to-basanitic plateau that covers the southern Leizhou (Liuchow) Peninsula and extends across a broad area of northern Hainan Dao.  Another area of Pleistocene-Holocene volcanism lies at the greenish area at the northern end of the peninsula, west of Zhanjiang City.  NASA Landsat 7 image (worldwind.arc.nasa.gov)
