The Volcano in California; Amboy Crater

If you have ever driven through the town of Amboy in California, you have passed through the lava flows of a recent volcano. This volcano is located south of the town center, and contains a tall cylindrical vent along with a large lava field. The volcano I am referring to is called Amboy Crater, which contains one of the largest lava flows in Southern California. This video covers the recent eruptions from this volcano, and states the general hazard which it poses in the future. This video was made by a geologist who is based in Arizona.
