Meaning of malpais

Mal país means "bad country" in Spanish Randroide (talk) 22:00, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I propose to merge Carrizozo Malpais into Carrizozo volcanic field. The Carrizozo Malpais is the main feature of the Carrizozo volcanic field, so that two articles are bound to heavily duplicate content, particularly as both are short articles. Kent G.

OK to merge, however the article should mention that this area is known locally as "the Malpais" or "the Malpais lava field". I have never heard it referred to as Carrizozo volcanic field, although that is the correct name. Netherzone (talk) 14:51, 17 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
