Data from the Global Volcanism Program of the Smithsonian Institution
Details for: Yar, Jabal
Two scoria cones of the Jabal Yar volcanic center in SW Saudi Arabia are sown in this December 2019 Planet Labs satellite image monthly mosaic (N is at the top; this image is approximately 19 km across). There are three groups of cones and this is the northernmost 'Ukwatain group. Both cones underwent flank collapse or rafting during their eruptions and now open towards the W. Lava flow boundaries are visible on the western side of both cones. Satellite image courtesy of Planet Labs Inc., 2019 (https://www.planet.com/).

Jabal Yar, the southernmost young volcanic field in Saudi Arabia, is a small olivine basaltic field along the Red Sea coast at the SW tip of Saudi Arabia. It contains three groups of volcanoes, Qummatain, Djar'atain-Harra, and 'Ukwatain. Hot springs occur south of Djar'atain and between it and 'Ukwatain. A single historically documented eruption took place at the beginning of the 19th century.
