This is the town that was evacuated in 2009 due to concerns of eruption
See all that black rocks in the picture ?
These are solidified lava from previous historic eruptions isn’t it cool

Thank you for sharing that.

I already knew the Middle East, Mediterranean and North-East Africa are tectonically complicated and active, with the last region fissuring and the Mediterranean still closing (though slowly in geological terms).

I had not known about Saudi Arabia's volcanicity, though.

Very interesting!
