Craters of the Moon is a vast ocean of lava flows with scattered islands of cinder cones and sagebrush. Idaho’s Craters of the Moon formed during eight major eruptive periods between 15,000 and 2,000 years ago. The monument continues to go through subtle changes caused by natural and human processes.
