The northern part of Mount Franklin was at its base composed solely of two valleys, wide, not very deep, without any appearance of vegetation, strewn with masses of rock, paved with lava, and varied with great blocks of mineral.
La parte norte del monte Franklin se componía únicamente en su base de dos valles anchos y poco profundos, sin apariencia de verdor, sembrados de bloques erráticos, jaspeados de moenas, llenos de gruesos tumores minerales y espolvoreados, digámoslo así, de obsidianas y labradoritas.
