LOOKING DOWN INTO KATMAI S CRATER 



At the right is the main column of steam, 3,000 feet high. Little jets may also be seen 

 rising from the surface of the boiling lake. Curiously enough, the heat does not melt the 

 snow, which may be seen stretching close up to the escaping steam, its surface grooved by 

 the innumerable rolling-stones which fall in from the cliffs where we stood (see text, 

 page 54).
