RODEN CRATER (from Overview)
“The Roden Crater is a cinder cone from an extinct volcano located in the Painted Desert region of northern Arizona, USA. The 400,000-year-old, 3-mile-wide (4.8 km) crater is the site of a land art project in progress. Artist James Turrell is transforming its inner cone into a massive naked-eye observatory designed specifically for viewing and experiencing skylight, solar and celestial phenomena.”
Comment: news reports in 2020 mentioned that Roden Crater may be opened to the public sometime around 2024-25, contingent on further funding.
