Live Science details that the salt deposit within the Era Kohor crater is up to 3,300 feet across and several feet thick, left behind by an ancient lake that once filled the caldera. The volcano is classified as extinct with no historical eruption records, though its slopes are covered with ancient lava around 2 million years old.
