A group of scoria cones with recent lava flows of the Tskhouk-Karckar volcanic group are in the center of this October 2019 Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic (N is at the top; this image is approximately 16 km across). The longest flow to the south traveled around 9 km from the vent. The lavas have abundant lobate flow edges and pressure ridges, and overlap older cones and flows.
