Jaraguay Volcanic Field

Campo vulcanico · Mexico · 960 m

One of the many scoria cones of the Jaraguay Volcanic Field is seen here from the SW across the Arroyo San José. Two lava flows of probable Holocene age originated from a nearby scoria cone. This is the largest young volcanic field of Baja California, located in northern Baja between Jaraguay and Arroyo San José, it contains numerous scoria cones and lava flows.

Sintesi geologica

The Jaraguay Volcanic Field is the northernmost of a group of large young alkalic volcanic fields in Baja California. Located primarily on the Pacific Ocean side of northern Baja between Jaraguay and Arroyo San José, the field contains numerous youthful-looking cinder cones and associated basaltic and basaltic andesite lava flows. Some lava flows are less vegetated than flows of the San Quintín Volcanic Field to the north. Several lava flows were erupted near the south side of Arroyo San José at the SW end of the Jaraguay volcanic field.
