⛰️ Hala-'l Badr

Ḥalā-'l Badr is a volcano in northwestern Saudi Arabia at 27.25° N, 37.235° E. The volcano has traditionally been classified as a parasitic cinder cone type, and is located on the northeast corner of the Thadra table mountain in the al-Jaww (الجاوّ) basin. Al-Jaww is an erosional depression between Harrat ar-Rahah and Harrat al-'Uwayrid that is ~600 km2 and ~200 m deep. Jabal Thadra is a volcanic plateau or table mountain composed of Paleozoic/Cambrian sandstone and a basalt pavement or capping. Jabal Thadra has an elevation of approximately 1500 m above sea level. Hallat al-Badr rises almost 100 m above the plateau's eastern escarpment and is oriented on a north-east tilted axis, hence why its lava flows have intruded northeast into the al-Jaww basin.
