Description


Devil's Garden volcanic field

Devil's Garden Volcanic Field is a volcanic field located south east of Newberry Caldera in Oregon.[1] The lava field consists of several flows of pahoehoe lava that erupted from fissure vents in the northeast part of the Devils Garden. The main vent on the north end of the fissure fed two large gutter/tube systems. Several small vents to the south produced The Blowouts (two large spatter cones), several smallspatter cones, and flows. Several older hills and higher areas were completely surrounded by the flows to form kipukas. The distal ends of the flows show excellent examples of inflated lava.[2]
