Overview

Excerpt from Characteristics of Volcanoes: With Contributions of Facts and Principles From the Hawaiian Islands Reviewing the developments thus far made, we find that the region has already contributed many new ideas to the vulcanologist. Science has learned of volcanic activity un restricted by altitude up to fourteen thousand feet; of the possibility of two first - class craters working simultaneously within the area of one mountain-dome, and having the loftier the more frequent and the more copious in its outflows, and neither of them ordinarily responsive to the other even when in eruption; and of the outflow of the heaviest of chrysolitic lavas at various altitudes to the very summit.
