Global Volcanism Program | Image GVP-12383

The Harrat Lunayyir volcanic field contains around 50 identified craters with numerous lava flows seen in this November 2019 Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic (N is at the top; this image is approximately 89 km across). The scoria cones contain summit craters and many experienced flank collapse or rafting during the eruptions, resulting in horseshoe-shaped craters. The youngest lavas occur in the central part of the field and cover 25 km2. Satellite image courtesy of Planet Labs Inc., 2019 (https://www.planet.com/).
