Ashikule Volcanic Field

Campo volcánico · China · 5090 m

The Kunlun Volcanic Group in NW Tibet contains at least 70 cones. The cone just above the center of this image is the Ashi cone, which erupted lava across 33 km2 in 1951. Other cones are visible in the Ashikule Basin, the relatively flat area across this image. · Foto: Satellite image courtesy of Planet Labs Inc., 2019 (https://www.planet.com/).

Resumen geológico

The Ashikule Volcanic Field contains 10 Pliocene to Holocene pyroclastic cones at the western end of the Kunlun Mountains. Several young trachyandesitic cones lie in the area around Ashi (Aqqikkol) and Wuluke (Ulugkol) lakes. China's most recent eruption was observed by a road-building crew on 27 May 1951, at the Ashishan (also known as Ka-er-daxi or Vulkan) cone. The eruption began with a loud detonation and ejected large blocks, emitting "smoke" for a number of days. An unconfirmed eruption was reported in the 19th century.
