Cedar Mountain Volcanoes

Location Origin Story

Bright-yellow hilltops look over a line of volcanic “neck” remnants that stand, towering above the reddish desert floor of Mussentuchit Flat. These are the remains of a line of small volcanic eruptions. Buried under the ground for eons, erosion has exposed these towering black volcanic “necks” or “throats”.

Volcanic plugs also called volcanic necks or lava necks are created when magma hardens inside a vent on an active volcano. This then causes an extreme build-up of pressure when expanding volatile-charged magma is trapped beneath it, and this can sometimes lead to an explosive eruption.

About This Photograph

This dark mountainous scene was photographed in the late evening during the month of October while Zedekiah was flying and exploring the area around Sinbad Country and the San Rafael Swell above the Moroni Slopes.

Image Rarity

The image was taken from a moving aircraft, as Zedekiah piloted the aircraft while simultaneously operating the camera.

Zedekiah used the ending light of the evening as a backdrop, where timing and being in the place-in-space for this scene to reveal itself was crucial to this image composition.

Lastly, it is impossible to simply walk up a trail and take the same photograph again. This image was very difficult to create, and is truly one-of-a-kind, therefore making it extremely rare.
