Next Amboy Crater, formed of ash and cinders, is 250 feet high and 1,500 feet in diameter. The crater is in one of the youngest volcanic eruption fields in the United States. Six distinct periods of eruptions created the resulting nested group of cinder cones encompassing 24 square miles. Volcanic activity started an estimated 6,000 years ago with the last period of eruptions occuring as recently as 500 years ago. Amboy Crater's recent origin and near-perfect shape led to its designation as a National Natural Landmark in 1975. Amboy Crater Satellite Image |
