Produce a detailed written description of a dreary scene outside a volcano with lava, basalt, and a hillock.
assistant
An old lava channel forms a ready path through the basalt outcroppings and boulders that the volcano has thrown this far. To the north, a hillock rises out of the litter of stones, its shoulders strewn with rubble and its top a flat expanse. A trail zigzags up the incline, punctuated with pockets of lava that decorate the hillock with their flickering red light.
