Taken: July 12, 2012
Caption: Hot Rock Marker
Additional Description: [Photo caption:]
B.F. Loomis reported that the rock in this photo was “still sizzling in the water” some forty hours after it was ejected from the volcano’s crater.

The destructive forces that moved this cabin-size rock destroyed a three-square-mile swath, now called the Devastated Area. Visit the Devastated Area Trail two miles south of here.
