Here’s the new one. Good luck!
Un volcan de cono simple en Arizona
Need to be a little more specific … but thanks for the update on the seismicity at Llaima!
Sunset Crater AZ
SP Crater, AZ.
Well, it’s a cinder cone… and from the scarp in the background I would guess that it is in the Great Rift Valley somewhere. I would guess Ethiopia, Kenya or Tanzania. But that is as close as I can get at the moment. 
Amboy?
I’m not even going to attempt this one. There are hundreds of simple cinder cones like this round the world, many of them almost identical. The sparse vegetation would suggest a fairly arid area, but that could be in the western USA, Ethiopia, Mexico/Baja California or the high Andes for starters.
I don’t think it is SP, I would have expected to see more of the flow in the picture if it was SP. So my guess is Merriam Cone, Arizona. I do believe it is in the US desert southwest.
I am going to go with Antelope Hill, AZ.
Since someone has already guessed Sunset Crater in Arizona … I’ll go with my secondary guess: the cinder cone at Veyo, Utah.
Schonchin Butte, CA?
Somewhere out west I would go with Capultin Mountain. I know that may not be spelled just right.
Ooooh, tough…gonna go with a cinder cone on the flank of Mauna Loa, Hawaii. The fault scarp in the background looks like the result of rift zone extension on a shield volcano. Plus, the vegetation looks like Hawaii.
Mike Don is right though, cinder cones are everywhere; to find one this symmetrical is less common, but there are probably still 100s of examples. There are what could be other cones to the right, but even that doesn’t narrow things down; both shield volcanoes and monogenetic fields can have multiple cinder cones. Even my inference that the fault scarp = part of a shield volcano isn’t necessarily true. It could be part of a continental rift zone, or even be the slopes of a caldera system, not a scarp at all.
Two more guesses Bald Knoll and Sand Mountain. They both look very similar and they are in the desert southwest where it looks like this photo may be from,or not! This one is not easy to figure out.
Whoops, meant to say Mauna Kea; only Mauna Kea has that kind of cliff topography in the saddle zone between Loa and Kea which is what this looks like to me.
Just great, I finally get to see the picture before half of the planet has already seen that/done that/went to bed, and it’s a cinder cone. With rare exception if you have seen one cinder cone, you have seen them all. Mt. Capulin it isn’t – no road spiral and not high enough. Sunset Crater it isn’t – wrong color. After a little Google Earth work I’ll stick my neck out and say “Amboy Crater” Never been there, but there is a vague resemblance between your picture and one of those flickr photos.
Been a long time since I’ve been out there but it is likely one of the other features near the Sunset Crater area. I remember Strawberry, Antelope, Colton, Maroon, Rattlesnake, Black Bottom, Haywire, SP, Stewart, Moon, Double, Pinnacle, Cochrane, N & S Sheba, and Merriam craters? Missouri Bill Hill? No, that doesn’t have a closed crater, neither does Merrill. It could be Merriam and it looks to be that size; but I’m going to go with either Black Bottom or Roden, since they are further north.
Black Bottom Crater
It looks to me like a cinder cone I found in the San Francisco Volcanic Field. It is about 3.75 miles SW of SP Crater, but I can’t find a name for it.
Antelope Hill Cinder Cone, Arizona
Wow, we may have a stumper here — admittedly a scoria cone can be a little hard to uniquely identify. Any last guesses? (hint, someone here said the name but then rejected it).
OK I’ll go with SP. I Think I see the flow in the background.
I’ll try, I say Missouri Bill Hill
I think The Bobs is right it is a the cinder cone 3.75 miles SW west of SP Crater (35 32 N 111 41 W) can’t find the name. I think the picture id taken from the SW.
Marco: I agree with you and The Bobs. When I did a google search on “topographic map SP Crater” one of the resulting links was http://www.trails.com/topomap_beta.aspx?trailid=HGS167-021
If you zoom out a ways on the topographic map you can see the cone 3.75 miles SW of SP Crater, labeled “Antelope Hill”
This is interesting. The sender of the photo identified the cone as Missouri Bill Hill … however, after staring at Google Earth for a while, I’m pretty convinced its not MBH, but rather the small cone just to the NE of MBH (I believe it would be the cone identified by the Bobs.) I may have to do some more investigating (and you can to) to resolve this …
Erik,
I believe Missouri Bill Hill is incorrect. If you look at Missouri Bill Hill on google earth, it has a very asymmetrical crater rim. The northeast rim of the crater is more than 200 feet higher then the SW rim. The photo shows a cinder cone with a very even crater rim with no prominent high points. Further, the crater of Missouri Bill Hill is overall much deeper than the shallow saucer-like crater of the cone in the photograph. Also, the features of the vegetation and gullies on the south side of Antelope Hill closely match those in the photo.
I took the picture, and after checking on Google earth and rechecking the coconino NF map, I think Don Crain is correct. The picture was taken at approx 35 degrees, 28 min, 24.9 sec N and 111 degrees 42 min 59.3 sec W, from the rim of a large unnamed crater looking north. The escarpment in the background is Gray mtn, SP crater is visible from the location but father east and north among several other cones. Antelope Hill lines up better with Gray mtn than Missouri Bill Hill from that location and is more consistent with the shape of the cone in the picture. MBH is actually obscured by trees in the pictures I took that day. My apologies for the mistake. My hat is off to the folks who were able to identify the area and the possible cones from a very generic cinder cone.
Bill
I agree with Don Crain, it looks like Antelope Hill is the name. I believe that the photo was taken from the rim of another cone that is due south of Antelope Hill. I was able to get a very close match with the photo by manipulating the viewpoint in Google Earth, including the dark hill on the right edge of the photo, which I think is SP hill.
Wow.,this one was really a tough one,I think it is safe to say this is the haredest one ever!
So it looks like Doug C. got it first at reply #10. Another new winner. Congratulations Doug!
Nice to see a challenging search. I enjoyed the hunt!
It does in fact appear that Doug C. got it way back at #9 … congrats.

In fact, I say the ‘correct’ answer using the hint, but when I looked for images, none of them appeared like the MVP to me. It was only guessing.
I deserve at least 0,5 points!!
DANG! I’ve climbed Chimborazo and didn’t recognize it. Probably affected by the altitude at the time. Several volcanoes have erupted after I climbed them [St. Helens, Popocatepetl, Tungurahua, etc….maybe I should be paid not to climb dormant volcanoes? Just a thought.
You are a very smart individual!
Great website! I am loving it!! Will be back later to read some more. I am taking your feeds also
Thanks for the information, I’ll surely be coming back to this site.

Hmmmm, this article is not too bad but I don’t quite like the design and colour interface of this website. Still, great effort and thanks a lot!
There has to be any kind of site that might offer you and me a plenty of details such as what was claimed here? Regards to your Strategy…
Thanks for your informative topic. Another issue is that being a photographer requires not only skill in capturing award-winning photographs but additionally hardships in acquiring the best bridge camera suited to your needs and especially problems in maintaining the caliber of your camera. This really is very correct and visible for those professional photographers that are into capturing the natures scenes – mountains, forests, wild or maybe the sea. Visiting these adventurous places certainly requires a camera that can surpass the wilds unpleasant area.

Hi. I don’t know if it is too much, but your blog is very eye-pleasing.
I was suggested this web site by my cousin. I am not sure whether this post is written by him as nobody else know such detailed about my problem. You are wonderful! Thanks!

Why wasnt Kennedy the Libertarian listed as one of the candidates in question #1? Does that skew your poll results?
Ich finde es klasse, daß das heikle Thema heutzutage direkt diskuttiert wird. Ihr Post hat mir sehr gut gefallen, aber teile ich diese Ansicht nicht hundertprozentig. Aber ich denke nötig .
Its going to take physical action, and a lot of pain and suffering to get rid of this parasite. There isnt anywhere you can spend your money that wont eventually go to them. Spending locally and with small NON-jew owned businesses helps some, but its not a solution. They print the money, and have more of it than you can imagine. They dont care if you try to boycott this or that, the majority will still spend their money on stupid shit.
As I said earlier, the point here is not the way Danny depicted india in Slumdog but rather the fact that it is the only picture of india that Danny is showing, repeatedly. I REQUEST EVERYONE TO GO THROUGH MY LAST COMMENT ON THIS VERY SAME PAGE.

It will all depend on how much cr*p the Republicans let happen. People can say what they want about George Bush, but when the thieves tried to steal the election in Florida in 2000, he assembled the right team to make sure it wasnt going to happen. Lets hope the Republicans wise up and that kind of business is a thing of the past.
I run my own blogand I came here by mistake. I read your articles and I found that they’re super! I would like to use them on my blog. I won’t do that without your permission, so say OK. I will contact you later with specifics.
As a true independent economically conservative, socially liberal I am at my wits end with both parties. Im waiting for one or the other to apologize to the nation and rededicate itself to good, constitutional governance. Given the current political climate, that might take a while. I cant cast a vote in your election, of course, but Im hoping and praying that Scott Brown wins, and that the Pubs absolutely obliterate the Dems this November. Then, both parties will have a choice to make: do we keep playing to our loony-tune bases, or do we truly sit back and acknowledge that theres not a red America nor a blue America, but one America? That was another quote that resonated with me during last years campaign. Heres hoping the person who said it decides he meant it.
GRacias por la informacion, ha sido de gran ayuda, yo me encuentro preocupado por la perdida del cabello.
ROFL lmao is that real? I didnt knew that lol
