This view is looking south from an overlook along the main
park road at Gillem Bluff. The Devils Homestead Flow, a young blocky ("a'a")
lava flow is in the foreground. Schonchin Butte is a well-developed volcanic
cinder cone on the left horizon. Additional cones and features in the Lava
Beds National Monument and surrounding Modoc National Forest are part of
the Medicine Lake volcanic field in northern California. |
