Ubehebe Crater, Volcanic crater in Death Valley National Park, United States.
The crater extends half a mile wide with depths varying between 500 to 777 feet, displaying exposed layers of sedimentary rock along its walls.
The formation occurred 2,100 years ago when magma met groundwater, creating steam pressure that generated explosive forces ten times stronger than bedrock resistance.
The Timbisha Shoshone people name this geological formation Tem-pin-tta-Wo'sah and maintain strong connections to this volcanic landscape in Death Valley.
A moderate 1.5-mile trail circles the crater rim, offering multiple viewpoints, while the closest restroom facilities are at Grapevine Ranger Station, 5 miles east.
The crater walls reveal pink and brown mud flats at the bottom, which temporarily transform into small lakes during rare precipitation events.
