Cima volcanic field, Volcanic formation in Mojave National Preserve, US
The volcanic field spans 600 square kilometers and contains 40 volcanic cones with 60 lava flows in the eastern Mojave Desert of California.
Volcanic activity in the field started during the Late Miocene period, with the most recent Black Tank cone formation occurring 15,000 years ago.
Ancient inhabitants left their mark on the landscape by carving petroglyphs into the lava flows, which remain visible in present times.
Visitors can access the volcanic field via Kelbaker Road, which intersects with lava flows, or through dirt paths like Indian Springs Trail.
The field includes multiple volcanic structures ranging from simple cones to multi-cratered mountains, with one accessible lava tube for exploration.
