Ubehebe Crater Eruption

The Ubehebe Craters are a volcanic field in the northern Death Valley of California, consisting of 14–16 craters in a 3-square-kilometre area. The largest of the craters is the 800 metres wide and 235 metres deep Ubehebe Crater. Many of the craters, though, are partially buried and thus hardly recognizable.
