But on this occasion, instead of Sneffels, an old and extinct volcano, we were inside a mountain of fire in full activity.
Now, we have no evidence to prove that Sneffels is really extinct.
The wind was driving it directly towards that side of Sneffels on which we were perched.
Sneffels is the termination of a long range of volcanic mountains, of a different character to the system of the island itself.
From this, our first real stage, we began to ascend the slopes of the Sneffels volcano.
