🌟🌟Featured Photo🌟🌟 from @thefotostalker - The Big Tubes area of #elmalpais is like no other! ☝👌👍 👏👏👏 The Big Tubes area of El Malpais are part of the Bandera - Zuni lava flow. The Bandera flow originated about 10,000 years ago. There are several tubes in the area, including the longest in the continental United States. Lava tubes are an interesting feature of basaltic lava flows. As basaltic lava cools, the outer part can solidify, forming a shell around the inner, still molten and flowing part...like a rock straw. The crust acts as insulation for the inner, hotter lava, allowing it to flow greater distances. (at El Malpais National Monument)
