Why visit?
Keeps Kishb off Khaybar, and the crater off Jahili narrative.
Harrat Kishb is a field of flows, cones and craters in western Arabia. The Global Volcanism Program lists it. Jabal Aslaj is an edge mark in field reports. Wahbah crater is assigned to this field, not to Khaybar.
A pre-Islamic category does not mean a dug Jahili settlement. The card is geological. Relatively young lava is a geological age, not a dated historic eruption.
The space view is a field frame; a Khaybar picture was already removed so the two harrat are not mixed. The pin is the field area.
