Ubehebe Craters
The Ubehebe Craters are a small field of some 13 phreatic explosion craters, the largest of which is Ubehebe Crater itself. These craters formed when rising basaltic magma encountered groundwater and flashed to steam. The most recent research suggests that Ubehebe Crater formed only 300 years ago.
