    Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument (U.S. National Park Service)

    The Destruction and Rebirth of a Landscape The cinder cone volcano's rim is the dusky red of sunset, but the crater is only part of the story. Around 1085 the ground began to shake, and lava spewed high into the air. When the eruption finished, it had chan

    미국 애리조나주 플래그스태프(Flagstaff) 근처에 있는 화산지형 입니다. 샌프란시스코피크스(San Francisco Peaks)와 관련된 화산지대 가운데 가장 어린 분석구라고 합니다.

    1064년 화산폭발이 처음 발생하였고, 1100년 대폭발이 있어서 화산의 높이가 약 300m까지 올라갔다고 합니다.

    오래되었다면 오래되었고, 얼마되지 않았다면, 얼마되지 않은 화산의 흔적. 분화 당시 이곳에 살던 원주민들은 화산과 관련한 많은 전설을 남겼고, 이곳을 신성하게 여겼다고 합니다.

    13세기에 있었던 마지막 폭발로 인해 원래 검은색이었던 분석구 윗부분의 암석이 저녁놀처럼 밝은 빛을 띤 붉은색과 오렌지색으로 물들면서 지금의 '선셋(Sunset)'이라는 이름이 붙여졌다고 합니다. 화산 군데군데 소나무가 자라고 야생화도 피어 있습니다.

    1930년 이 분석구를 보호하기 위하여 국National Monument로 지정되었습니다. 1920년대 후반 할리우드 영화사가 화산폭발을 재현하기 위해 크레이터 내부에 많은 양의 폭약을 터뜨리려 했다고 합니다. 그 사실을 알게된 사람들의 강력한 항의가 있었고, 그로 인해 National Monument 지정까지 되었다고 합니다.

    Lava Flow Trail은 화산지형을 감상할 수 있는 왕복 1마일, 30분 정도의 짧은 트레일입니다. 1970년대초 까지는 분화구의 정상까지 올라가는 길도 등산객들에게 개방되어 있었지만, 위험하여서 현재는 하이킹을 금지하고 산기슭에 있는 짧은 구간만 개방되어 있습니다. 홈페이지를 봐도 붕괴되기 쉬운 지역이어서 정해진 트레일만 이용하라고 되어 있습니다.
