The Lava Beds from space


Extraordinary shot from NASA of the Lava Beds National Monument.  (I don't know if the Trump administration plans to drill for oil at this one or not;  I doubt they'd find any.)  It's actually a combination image with a Landsat 8 image combined with terrain data from ASTER (an instrument on another satellite).

Lava Beds National Monument

This is not a place I've been;  so I took a look for pictures on the ground.

This one is somewhat amazing.  Though I'd see Crater Lake first, I'd like to get here, too. They're only two hours apart by automobile travel.
