The 2,150 km2 Atakor Volcanic Field within the Hoggar volcanic province, Algeria, contains abundant scoria cones, lava domes, and lava flows, seen across this 15 November 2019 Sentinel-2 satellite image (N at the top). Erosion has also exposed intrusions and volcanic conduits from older activity. Satellite image courtesy of Copernicus Sentinel Data, 2019.
