The region on the volcano's northeastern flank destroyed by the eruptions, 3 sq mi (7.8 km 2) in area, is now known as the Devastated Area, and it along with other deposits from the volcano has been altered by erosion and regrowth of vegetation, [73] though the vegetation in Devastated Area is sparse due to its siliceous (rich in silica ...
