The lava lake at Masaya came back in January 2016. [17] In addition to the aforementioned persistent lava lakes, a certain number of occurrences of temporary lava lakes (sometimes called lava ponds or lava pools, depending on their size and nature [18]) have also been observed and are listed in the following table.
A volcanogenic lake is a lake formed as a result of volcanic activity. [1] They are generally a body of water inside an inactive volcanic crater ( crater lakes ) but can also be large volumes of molten lava within an active volcanic crater ( lava lakes ) and waterbodies constrained by lava flows, pyroclastic flows or lahars in valley systems.

Lava which pools within the caldera is known as a lava lake. [76] Lava lakes do not usually persist for long, either draining back into the magma chamber once pressure is relieved (usually by venting of gases through the caldera), or by draining via eruption of lava flows or pyroclastic explosion. There are only a few sites in the world where ...
The Lava Lakes are a group of small lakes at the head of Lava Fork in the Boundary Ranges of northwestern British Columbia, Canada. [1]The Volcano, a cinder cone about 5 km (3.1 mi) north of the British Columbia-Alaska border above the eastern shore of the Lava Lakes, is the source for lava flows that overwhelm the lakes. [2]
Once initially established, continued lava flow creates a steeper upstream face as it battles the rising water, but with most lava flowing unimpeded downstream covering the now-dried river bed and its alluvial sediments, sometimes for miles. Thus emplaced, the shape of a lava dam resembles an elongated blob, wedged in the valley bottom.
Located on Jupiter's moon Io, the lava lake known as Loki Patera is a whopping 127 miles across and spans over 8,300 square miles — meanwhile, Lake Ontario covers just 7,320 mi².
In 2019, it was discovered that Mount Michael had a persistent lava lake, a rare phenomenon which is known to occur at only eight volcanoes in the world. [1] [2] In November 2022, an expedition from University College London led by geologist Emma Nicholson reached the summit of the volcano and was able to confirm the existence of the lava lake.
