Скачать или смотреть Hiking at the Top of a Volcano! - Capulin Volcano National Monument

In the remote region of northeastern New Mexico, lies an ancient volcanic field where tens of thousands of years ago, hundreds of active volcanoes dominated the landscape. Today they are all extinct, but very few people know this beautiful geology exists.

One of the most significant of these volcanoes is Capulin Volcano - one of the best preserved cinder cone volcanoes in North America. Its last eruption was between 55,000 - 62,000 years ago, however you can hike a mile around the rim and into the very caldera of this once active lava emitting volcano. It is now a national monument and one of the most amazing geographical features I have ever seen in the United States.
