To give you an idea of the possibilities, three composite images are shown below. 1 As mentioned in Views of Giant Crater Lava Flow , there appear to be six groups of lava forming the Giant Crater Lava Flow. The first flow is from Chimney Crater and Shastine Crater spatter cones in the northernmost section of the lava field. A USGS map shows this region in more detail. The lavas from this first flow were more viscous and so the eruptions were more explosive.
