Streetview View of Sunset Crater



Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument hosts Sunset Crater, a relatively young and fresh cinder cone in Arizona.  It's actually not far from Meteor Crater, which was formed by an impact event from an extraterrestrial piece of iron-nickel, but due to the proximity of volcanic activity, the impact origin was argued for decades.

I wondered if you could see Sunset Crater from the nearby roads with Streetview, and it turns out it is visible.  So if you haven't been there, take a look at the view.
