Lecture
SUNSET CRATER: VOLCANO NATIONAL MONUMENT 

Thursday 2nd of October 2025 at 7:00 pm
    Some 900-years ago the Hopi & Zuni people of the United States were to witness a huge volcanic eruption. In some Hopi cultural beliefs, the Qa’na Katsina caused Palatsmo (Sunset Crater) to erupt after people engaged koyaanisqatsi, a life out of balance. From a scientific perspective, Sunset Crater is a volcanic cinder cone located 24km north of Flagstaff in the U.S. state of Arizona. The associated incredible Bonito A'ā lava flow, which rolled down from Sunset crater only 900-years ago is a sight to be seen!
