Arco, Idaho · United States
A prominent cinder cone composed of dark, loose tephra rises above a vast field of black and brown basaltic lava. The foreground is a chaotic landscape of jagged, porous ʻaʻā lava, while the cone itself has a finer, gravelly texture. Bright daylight creates high contrast, highlighting the rough surfaces of the volcanic rock against a clear, azure sky dotted with white cumulus clouds. Sparse, pale green vegetation, likely sagebrush (Artemisia species), is visible in small patches among the dark rocks.
