Having lived for awhile somewhere with volcanic eruptions, this is not a good comparison (at least in the Hawaii sense). Those volcanic eruptions cause a permanent change to land cover that remains for centuries. Eruptions that are over 100 years old are still plainly visible in satellite view, and do not naturally reforest for centuries. Generally the only thing that causes a lava field to disappear is that it gets covered by a new eruption, and these events are typically years to decades apart. They are very real things on the ground that would be of interest, e.g., for hikers traversing over them. I'm not sure if anyone has ever mapped volcanic eruption perimeters, but it would seem perfectly reasonable to me to map inactive lava fields once an eruption is over. > > _______________________________________________ > Tagging mailing list > Tagging@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging >
