Global Volcanism Program | Image GVP-12581

Part of the 1,500 km2 Harra of Arhab volcanic field is shown in this December 2019 Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic (N is at the top; this image is approximately 20 km across). Lava flows from recent eruptions of Kaulet Hattab and Jabal Zebib cones are darker, with the later producing the nearly 9-km-long lava flow to the south. Many of the scoria cones underwent flank collapse or rafting during eruptions and have horseshoe-shaped craters as a result.
