Newberry Volcano (with
Newberry Caldera) is a large
potentially active[3] shield volcano located 40 miles (64 km) east of the
Cascade Range and about 20 miles (32 km) southeast of
Bend, Oregon, within the
Newberry National Volcanic Monument.
It is not a typical shield volcano because, in addition to erupting
basaltic lavas, it also has erupted
andesitic and even
rhyolitic lava.
The
volcano is 25 miles (40 km) in diameter and has a total volume of 120 cubic miles (500 km3).
[5][6] It possesses a large oval-shaped
caldera 4 by 5 miles (6.4 km × 8.0 km) in diameter, called the
Newberry Caldera. Within the caldera there are two lakes (
Paulina Lake and
East Lake), many
pyroclastic cones,
lava flows, and
obsidian domes.
A deep gash in the northern flank, dubbed "The Fissure", is the end of a 29-mile (47 km) long series of fractures called the Northwest
Rift Zone. Approximately 6,100 years ago, basaltic lava flows erupted from the fissure and covered part of Newberry's northwest flank.
Newberry Volcano was named for
John Strong Newberry, who explored central Oregon for the
Pacific Railroad Surveys in 1855.
The
Horse Lava Tube System, the
Arnold Lava Tube System, and
Lava Butte are all on the flanks of the volcano.
