Extinct Fumerole - Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes
When Robert Griggs first arrived here in 1919 he found it as a geothermal area. It became known as The Yellowstone of the North. It was however, not geothermal at all. The fumeroles had been created by super-heated steam created by the molten lava and ash boiling the River Lethe. Fumeroles are long gone now however. It is said that the Lunar Rover and astronauts trained here for the moon landings. Just saying! .... It is 1985 here. Filmed on Kodachrome 64 and scanned at 4000dpi.
