To the west, broken layers of lava and basalt rise in irregular piles. To the east and north, a narrow plane opens out between steep mountain shoulders. The black tide of volcanic destruction and molten has buried all that once was here and only a thick layer of ash remains, dancing in the erratic winds to give even a hint of life. Off to the extreme north, you can make out a narrow valley.
