These pictures of the lava fields at Craters of the Moon National Monument were taken on Tuesday, May 15, 2001. It was one of many places that I visited over a two week period.
A vast lava field fills the 83 sqare miles that currently make up Craters of the Moon National Momument. Geologists believe that volcanic eruptions in this region ceased approximately 2,000 years ago. Craters of the Moon was declared a national momument in 1924. The following pictures hightlight the landscape of this unique region. The first photo shows a lone tree on top of a lava ash cinder.
