Painting by Henry Wood Elliott (1846-1930), Yellowstone Lake, 1871, watercolor (Phoenix Art Museum). The view is from northern Yellowstone Lake looking to the south. In the foreground, one can see the Annie in the northern lake and the three largest of the lake’s islands: Stevenson Island, with Frank Island and the smaller Dot

Harrat Lunayyir basalt cinder cones and lava flows in Saudi Arabia seen from an aerial perspective. Deposits from the cinder cones cover nearby ridges and form fans at the base of the older non-volcanic ridge in the background. These well-preserved geomorphic forms indicate the relative youth of this northern part of the volcanic field.
