10/19 Mono Lake Basin - Panum Crater


South of Mono Lake and east of the Sierra Mountains is a chain of volcanic craters, domes and lava flows. You can see blown-out craters in the mountains above where trees have started to grow, and a volcanic dome in front of them.
Here's another example of a blown-out crater.
This is the rim of Panum Crater which exploded 600 - 700 years ago. You can see Mono Lake in the distance.
