have you ever seen a lava field? did you go near it? what is it like?

Answer 1

It's a large plain with volcanic peaks, vents and, tubes (caves), with newer lava flows without vegetation and older ones covered with forests of ponderosas or junipers and grasses

I live in central Oregon, there isn't any part of this land not covered by lava flows, within 75 miles we have around 20 volcanic peaks up to 15,000 feet high, a caldera 20 miles wide, and we are home to the famous Crater Lake National Park

Answer 2

I have been on lava fields in New Mexico, Arizona, and Idaho All are old fields (thousands of years) but all retain sharp edges of rock structure and are very uneven to walk on. In several places, I was able to walk in tunnels where the lava had hardened on surface and then liquid had flowed out and found they were generally much cooler than surface which was hotter 'n H... because of black uneven texture and summer visiting time.
