The Ankaizina volcanic field is a volcanic field of Cenozoic age in northern Madagascar. Volcanism was at first mainly silicic, producing pyroclastic flows which was followed by the eruption of minor basaltic lava flows. The most recent volcanism in the Ankaizina field probably took place during the Holocene with the eruption of well-presevered cinder cones and lava flows near Bealanana.[1]
