The Tombel Graben is a series of grabens that contain a monogenetic volcanic field consisting largely of scoria cones, maars, and lava flows, several of which are seen in this 13 November 2019 Sentinel-2 satellite image (N at the top). The town of Malinkam is seen here, and the larger Malinkam cone about 2 km SW is approximately 1 km wide. Satellite image courtesy of Copernicus Sentinel Data, 2019.
