Harra es-Sawad, or the "Shuqra Volcanic Field",[1] is a large trachybasaltic volcanic field that runs along the Gulf of Aden. Nearby is the city of Shuqrah.[2][3]

Morphology

The field stretches for around Шаблон:Convert, contains around 100 volcanic cones, and is orientated on a WSW-ENE line. This has produced a Шаблон:Convert lava field, which is mostly Holocene in age, and covers faulted basement limestone. Many of the fields cones are young and uneroded.[1][2][3]

History

The only eruption that has been noted in historical times occurred in 1253. This eruption was a large VEI 3 eruption, although it was poorly documented. Given the age of the field, other eruptions may have occurred in the recent past.[2]
