Background:
The Tumalo volcanic center is the inferred source of large-volume Pleistocene ashflows such as the Desert Spring Tuff, the Bend Pumice and Tumalo Tuff, and the Shevlin Park Tuff. The area contains a large number of rhyolitic domes, such as Melvin Butte, and andesitic cinder cones, such as those in the Triangle Hill area, which are compositionally similar to the Tumalo Tuff (and correlative Bend Pumice) and Shevlin Park Tuff, respectively.---

Earthquakes near Volcanoes: Our world-wide map continuously detects shallow earthquakes near volcanoes. These could be early signs of unrest and often precede eruptions.
Igneous or magmatic rocks: The most primitive rock type forms when magma (molten rock) solidifies - either inside the earth (plutonic rocks) or during volcanic eruptions (volcanic rocks). A short overview.
Kilauea volcano, Hawai'i: Kilauea is the most active volcano on earth, in constant eruption since 1983!
1-3 day excursions: If you're interested in volcanoes, there are a number of excursions you should not miss if you're in the area: hike to the craters of Stromboli volcano, climb Etna volcano, get to know the unique volcanic history of Santorini - some examples of shorter (1-3 days) tours and excursions we offer.
