	Amboy Crater, 29 Palms, CA
		The Amboy Crater is called a cinder cone because it is composed entirely of lava build-up and igneous rock spewed out during volcanic eruptions - some of these eruptions being so violent as to hurl huge red-hot boulders, called bombs, hundreds of yards from the crater.
		These days the Amboy Crater is on a kind of seismic short list of those dormant volcanoes along Western North America now being watched for signs of new volcanic activity.
		As for my own visit to the Amboy crater, I found it to be a rewarding experience providing a glimpse into a unique and beautiful part of our desert's history.
