  1. At 11,973 feet above sea level, Sierra Blanca is the tallest peak in the Sacramento Mountains, with spectacular views of the lower peaks and the Tularosa Basin. From the peak you can see where the black lava flows of Valley of Fire stops right before the dunes of White Sands begins. Stark contrast.

    Most of the Sacramento Mountains are limestone. Sierra Blanca is the sole volcano.

  3. Shiprock from Gallup is a ~1.5-hour drive north on U.S. Highway 491, leading to a striking volcanic neck formation. You can get a closer view or the formation and the dike wall by taking the paved Indian Service Road 13. Access to the base of Shiprock is restricted, so please view from the road or with a permitted tour guide, like Navajo Tours USA.

  4. Located at the north end of the Tularosa Basin, Valley of Fires is one of the youngest lava flows in the continental U.S., 4-6 miles wide, 160 feet thick, covering 125 square miles. Little Black Peak erupted about 5000 years ago, with lava oozing 44 miles into the Tularosa Basin.

  5. 📹 #Climate of the Past 20th Anniversary: Past Volcanism and Climate

    In this #webinar, Michael Sigl and Lauren Marshall will share insights into past #volcanic activity, helping to quantify the impact of short-term forcing on global climate and to test the ability of #climate models to reproduce this impact.

    The #Volcanic Isles . A brief history of volcanism across The British Isles.

    Quite pleased with how this one turned out.

    Location of volcanoes taken from wikipedia (spotted a mistake and got to make an edit to wikipedia in the process); fault lines from the #BGS 625k bedrock dataset and the IE GSI 500k Bedrock Geology for Ireland. Font: League-Spartan by the League of Moveable Type.

    #requests, #pandas and #geopandas for scraping and wrangling.#scipy for making the proximity surface (that's the colour scheme), #matplotlib for plotting. With all labeling done manually in #inkscape.

    EDIT: I've been kindly and helpfully informed that (a) Ben Nevis' age is closer to 399 Ma; (b) some are missing; (c) others perhaps shouldn't be there; (d) it's complicated. So, maybe don't use this map to make any strategic decisions.

  8. It's funny how often I start with tectonic plates when discussing the terroir of a wine region. It's also funny how the audience will look baffled for a minute or two until the connection clicks.
