[:ja]セルゲイ・リャザンスキー宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影したサウジアラビアの火山平原、ハッラキシュブです。
シリア、ヨルダン、サウジアラビアにまたがって存在する「ハラット」と呼ばれる岩だらけの溶岩平原には、火山丘が点在しています。サウジアラビア北西部では、過去500万年にわたって火山活動が続いており、西暦7世紀にも火山爆発があったことが記録されています。2009年5月にも火山活動と地震が活発化し、4万人が避難しました。

Saudi Arabia has active volcanoes in the west and northwest of the country. Volcanic activity is related to hot spot activity on the Arabian Plate which was uplifted on the eastern side of the Red Sea rift. The basaltic lava fields in the western part of the country are called harrats. They cover about 180,000km2 and extend from Turkey to Yemen in the south.
