 Kenya safari guide - Kenyalogy: Parks and reserves: Lake Nakuru National Park: Surroundings
Menengai Crater belongs to an extinct volcano that escorts the city of Nakuru from the north side, though it does such in a very inconspicuous way, since from the town it is hard to appreciate the presence of this sleeping giant.
The greatest attraction of this place is the magnificent view, both toward the crater bed itself and toward the lake from the southern slope.
The legend tells that the Ilaikipiak moran or warriors were thrown over the crater's rim, and that the fumaroles rising from the bed's gaps are the souls of the defeated that seek their way to heaven.

Towards the lake, the walls of the inner crater are less steep than the other parts, besides, the wall is here less continuous and the water nearly reaches the small hills in its interior, that we have not yet described.
In the western part of the crater floor, there is the relict of a crater wall, the eastern part of which collapsed.
The other parts of the crater floor are composed of unconsolidated material, affected by fumaroles, which resulted in the well known alteration of these rocks.

Mount Egon, a volcano on Flores island in East Nusa Tenggara province, Indonesia, erupted and spewed dark clouds of ash and molten lava.
Eyewitnesses said the lower part of the crater was seen bursting and that was believed to be the main outlet for the hot lava that spewed from the volcano.
Mount Egon is one of 15 volcanoes in the many islands of East Nusa Tenggara that are categorized as either active or with the possibility of eruptions.

Our aim is to show how practitioners of conservation involved in the Crater Mountain conservation project have overlooked social interactions which are rooted in local history, and have not recognised a history of research in the region which remains largely unacknowledged.
The current management of the Crater Mountain project is trying to reach people who have been neglected within the recent history of funding and development in the project (Bino 1999).
Both of these ‘knowledges’ have been manipulated and even negated in a politicised manner within the project, so that local people and their actions are made to account for project failures, or hindrances to success.

 Gula / Ninisina - Ancient Near East.net
Gula was also known as Nintinuga, Ninkarak, Meme and Bau, the names of other goddesses with whom she gradually became syncretised.
The sacred animal of Gula was the dog - a large number of small votive figures of dogs were dedicated to the goddess by her devotees and supplicants, the models acting as offerings.
The name of the goddess Gula has been given to several features within the Solar System under the prevailing system of planetary nomenclature, including a crater on the Jovian moon of Enceladus and a large shield volcano on the surface of the planet Venus.

The experiment demonstrates a cm-level phase measurement at low elevation angle from a fixed observation point, a technique which, the authors argue, an potentially be applied to altimetry of the first 10–20 km of the coastal ocean.
Increases in mid- and high-latitude precipitation are also lower in STA than in BAU, leading to smaller changes in soil moisture and diurnal temperature range under STA.
A cm-precision measurement of a water-surface altitude using GPS reflections was made at Crater Lake in Central Oregon.

At least one person was reported dead and some 5,000 others evacuated from their homes after a volcano on Flores island in East Nusa Tenggara province erupted, spewing dark clouds of ash and molten lava over at least one subdistrict, officials said on Friday.
The major eruption caused panic among residents nearby, and they fled the mountain villages of Hale, Hebing, Lere, Natakoli, Pedat, Bau Krengat and Kelawair.
Deputy Sikka Regent Yos Ansar Rera said his administration could not yet determine the danger status of the volcano whether it was caution, alert or first alert, despite the major eruption.

But officials told the station that there was no possibility of a tsunami from this tremor, centred about 70km (45 miles) offshore to the west of Bau Bau.
The researchers claim that other explanations for the circular feature, such as it being a cloud, or the accumulation of particles similar to a sand dune, are unlikely.

Spirit is headed toward a crater nicknamed "Bonneville," about 150 meters (500 feet) in diameter, where scientists hope to see rocks from beneath the region's surface volcanic layer.
From partway up the inner slope of that 22-meter-diameter (72-foot-diameter) crater, the rover has an improved view of a crater nicknamed "Endurance," about 10 times as big and about 700 meters (2,300 feet) to the east.
The net gain in the northeasterly direction toward the crater rim was 22 meters (72 feet), and that destination was estimated to be about 88 meters (289 feet) away from Spirit's new location.

This piece is a once theoretical, now actual view of the central room located at the top of the "Roden Crater" volcano, plus four others; it is one of the already completed rooms.
"Crater Eye" is a very symbolic part of the crater work, because it is the oldest, and the one that James Turrell thought and dreamed about the most in the 1970s, when he discovered and acquired the volcano.
