  • A gnarled, bleached tree frames one of the many cinder cones in the Craters of the Moon National Monument in Idaho.

  • The cinder cones of Maui's Haleakala crater are backlit by the low-angled light of sunrise.

  • A large kiawe (Prosopis pallida) tree frames of the southwestern coast of the Hawaiian island of Maui near the town of Makena. The first kiawe tree was introduced to Hawaii in 1828 and is now one of the most common trees in the dry lowlands of the Hawaiian islands. The prominent hill visible just to the right of the center of this image if Pu`u Ola`i, a 320-foot (98-meter) cinder cone formed when molten lava erupted from a volcanic vent and fell back to earth forming a nearly perfect cone. Pu`u Ola`i is also known as Earthquake Hill, Red Hill, and Round Mountain.

  • A pseudocrater is rendered in silhouette against a volanic cone at sunset in Mývatn in northern Iceland. Mývatn is a lake that was formed approximately 2,300 years ago during a volanic period. The shorter hill is a pseudocrater, also known as a rootless vent. While it resembles a volcanic cinder cone, it formed through a different process. As basaltic lava flowed over soggy lake sediments, it flash heated the moisture into vapor, causing it to blast through the lava. Mývatn means lake with midge flies; the lake is infested with them during the summer months.

  • Lightning strikes over the Toroweap Valley during a fall thunderstorm in Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona. Vulcan's Throne, a 73,000-year-old volcanic cinder cone, is visible as a dark mound on the horizon on the left side of the image.

  • The deep blue color of Crater Lake is visible in this early spring aerial view over Crater Lake National Park, Oregon. Crater Lake, located in the caldera of what was once Oregon's Mount Mazama, is the deepest lake in the United States and the seventh deepest in the world. Its deep blue color results from the clarity of the water. The water is so clear that sunlight travels deep into the lake, losing all but the blue wavelengths in the process. Crater Lake has a maximum depth of 1,946 feet (593 meters). Wizard Island, a volcanic cinder cone that rises about 755 feet (230 meters) above the lake, is visible at the bottom-center of the lake in this image.

  • The sun sets behind the rim of Crater Lake in this view from the Cloud Cap Overlook in Crater Lake National Park, Oregon. Crater Lake, which is actually a caldera, formed when Mount Mazama erupted violently about 7,700 years ago, causing its summit to collapse. Subsequent eruptions sealed the caldera, trapping rain water and snowmelt, forming the lake, which has a maximum depth of 1,949 feet (594 meters). Wizard Island, a volcanic cinder cone, is visible in the lake just beneath the sun; Phantom Ship, another remnant of volcanic activity, is visible as an island on the left side of the image.

  • Red rock lines a large volcanic crater, one of many in an area known as Diamond Craters in southeastern Oregon. The area contains dozens of basaltic lava flows, cinder cones, and maars ranging in age from 6,000 to 60,000 years old.
