Deep inside a cave, scientists uncovered fossils from 16 species, including a newfound kākāpō ancestor that may have been able to fly. These remains reveal that New Zealand’s ecosystems were constantly disrupted by volcanic eruptions and rapid climate shifts. Long before humans, waves of extinction and replacement reshaped the islands’ wildlife. It’s a rare window into a missing chapter of natural history.
Located at the north end of the Tularosa Basin, Valley of Fires is one of the youngest lava flows in the continental U.S., 4-6 miles wide, 160 feet thick, covering 125 square miles. Little Black Peak erupted about 5000 years ago, with lava oozing 44 miles into the Tularosa Basin.
