This image is the Wau en Namus volcano in the middle of the Sahara desert of south-central Libya. Three small salt lakes on the floor of the caldera have contributed to the name, which means 'oasis of mosquitoes'. The cone is about 500 m high, 4km in diameter, and surrounded by an apron of black volcanic ash 5-10km wide. There are several websites showing photos of this remarkable spot. Another volcanic structure is visible to the northwest.
