The Cinders, Lava field in Millard County, Utah, US
The Cinders extends across the west-central region of Utah, featuring volcanic hills and basalt formations covering an area of 10.5 kilometers in width.
Geologists Grove Karl Gilbert and Israel Russell conducted the initial geological mapping of The Cinders and Tabernacle Hill formations in 1890.
The site provides opportunities for geological research and education about volcanic processes through examination of rock samples and surface formations.
Visitors need specialized equipment and knowledge of volcanic terrain to safely explore the lava field's surface features and geological formations.
This location contains the youngest basalt flow in Utah, with material erupting from Ice Springs craters less than 700 years ago.
