The forested lava flow extending across the valley floor in the center of the photo is from Volcán Malpais in the Mascota Volcanic Field, and may be only a few thousand years old. The flow is seen here looking west across the graben floor from Volcán Molcajete. Photo by Jim Luhr, 1985 (Smithsonian Institution).
