The 4,000 km² Harrat Ithnayn volcanic field covers much of this November 2019 Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic (N is at the top; this image is approximately 94 km across). Scoria cones are visible across the field, with the Jabal Hazam Khadra’ cone is at the bottom of the center of the image. The lava flows are different shades dependending on variable amounts of weathering, erosion, and the amount of sedimentation on the surface.
