SP Crater, northern Arizona | SP Crater, a cinder cone in the north-central San Francisco volcanic field of northern Arizona, is believed to be ~ 55,000 years old (late Pleistocene). In spite of its age, it looks pristine and the surface textures on the blocky lava flow extruded to the north are intact and appear fresh. The SP cone is surrounded by older, somewhat disheveled-looking cinder cones and subdued basaltic lava flows. Look carefully and you'll see a white spot - a pickup truck - on the lower left at the base of the cone.
