One of the smaller volcanoes at Deception Island, this one last blew ~50 years ago - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deception_Island. The volcano's still active, and the waters of Deception Bay are both a safe harbor for ships in times of Antarctic storms (when the volcano's not erupting, that is), and also a place where visitors can swim, since the waters near the shoreline are warm from all the volcanic activity underneath.
Deception Pass Bridge
This bridge connects Whidbey Island to Fidalgo Island. There's a second bridge (but much less impressive) connecting Fidalgo to the mainland. These islands are in Puget Sound in Washington State. Deception Pass is 15 minutes from where I grew up.

Vehicular travel from Whidbey Island to the north crosses the treacherous strait known as Deception Pass. This image was taken from a small island separates two passages.

Friday we decide to stick close to home and prep for the cookout.
We get pastries downtown and walk up to the hospital to pick up my paycheck. Several of my co-workers are out and about—the census is at a record low and people are actually taking lunch breaks. We take Mike over to Fort Casey and are completely unable to answer any questions about local history or the purpose of a lot of the things we see there. We clamber around on the old gun batteries and watch the shipping lanes. (Eep! What is Harbin Hualong bringing us? Their feed's melanine content was just implicated in the poisoning a bunch of Chinese dogs bred for their raccoon-like fur.) We find the remains of a rabbit—just creepily intact teeth and gums and an unidentifiable organ.
We go home and meet with our hippy dippy cat sitter, Kestrel, and chop peppers and onions for the cookout.
Due to horrible planning on our part (long ferry lines because it’s Friday night and the sun going down earlier than we feel it should because of the immutable laws of physics), the Seattle folks (Reuben, Angela, Grant, Hannah) arrive for the cookout at Deception Pass at dusk. Janine’s crew has all been sidelined with some kind of plague, but Pamela and her kids have decided to attend after all. Hannah has a date set for her wedding. She is probably radiant, but it’s too dark to tell. Because of general inability to see anything and fear that we are undercooking our invisible chicken, we go back to our house. Steve and Pamela’s kids play Rock Band and we finish cooking everything in the oven.
At first, we don’t take pictures because it is dark; at home we don’t take pictures because Pamela's daughter is singing and we don’t want to make her self-conscious.
As far as I know, no one was food-poisoned.
Deception Island... just your ordinary, run-of-the-mill hunk of dirt and rock in the middle of the ocean. Or not. Actually, everything about this place, from Terror Point and its opposing Ghosts' Point to Pirate Peak to the Lonely Lagoon, positively reeks of adventure and excitement.

I thought I'd ride out to Deception Bay this morning. To make it interesting I cut through North Lakes, and found a couple of dirt tracks at end of Discovery Drive, North Lakes, which helped me get there from the South-West without having to navigate some of the major roads in the area.
It's Australia Day today and at the waterfront, all the BBQ's and picnic tables were taken - even at 9am. I'm not surprised because it's very pretty, with great views to Scarborough, Moreton Island and Bribie Island.
Deception Bay was initially named "Pumicestone River" by John Oxley in 1823. When he realized it wasn't actually a river, he named it "Deception Bay" instead.
Poor John Oxley had more than his share of "deception" in this area - being led up the North Pine River by shipwrecked convicts Finnegan and Pamphlett, who told him it was the Brisbane River. When he realized it wasn't the Brisbane River, he named it "Deception River", but "North Pine" river eventually stuck because of all of the Hoop Pines that grew along the river's banks.
