Arizona, USA

35.37 N, 111.50  W
summit elevation 2447 m
Cinder cone

Sunset crater is one of the youngest cinder cones in the USA.
In the 1920's a Hollywood movie company planned to blow it up to simulate a volcanic eruption, 
but this was prevented after public opposition.

The cone was caused by Strombolian activity which lasted 100-200 years.
