The Little Black Peak WSA is located in the central part of New Mexico. At 5,676 feet, Little Black Peak, the primary source of the surrounding lava flow, is the only feature rising significantly above the surrounding flat plain. It is a rugged landscape of lava approximately 5,000 years old.
The 75-km- (50-mi-) long Carrizozo lava flow is located in south-central New Mexico in the Tularose Basin. Eruption began approximately 5,000 years ago, and after two to three decades at a relatively low effusion rate, 4.3 km 3 (1 mi 3) of basalt lava covered 330 km 2 (130 mi 2) of land.
25 Σεπ 2022 · Little Black Peak, an inactive cinder cone located at the northern end of Carrizozo Malpaís, is the highest point on the larger shield volcano. Approximately 5,000 years ago, a vent erupted at Little Black Peak and lasted several decades. The event created the second youngest lava flow in New Mexico and one of the longest flows from the ...
The vent area for the Carrizozo lava flow field, Little Black Peak. As with the vent area of the McCartys lava flow in El Malpais, the vent cone of the Carrizozo lava flow represents the last activity at the location from which most of the lava flows were erupted.
Valley of Fires recreation area is located immediately adjacent to the Malpais Lava Flow. Approximately 5,000 years ago, Little Black Peak erupted and flowed 44 miles into the Tularosa Basin, filling the basin with molten rock.
New Mexico > El Malpais National Monument. Highlights: Many square miles of black, twisted lava and other volcanic formations including craters, cinder cones and lava caves, in high elevation land near the continental divide. Bordering the lava are sandstone cliffs and wooded hills.
