The Ambre-Bobaomby volcanic field forms the northernmost region of Madagascar, shown in this July 2019 Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic (N is at the top; this image is approximately 47 km across). The edifice shown here is the Massif d’Ambre, and the Bobaomby field continues to the north. The Massif d’Ambre contains lava flows, spatter cones, tuff rings, pyroclastic flow deposits, and tephra, with some craters visible down the apex of the N-S trending edifice.
