		Dana, one of the first geologists to visit the Hawaiian Islands, believed that lunar craters were not volcanoes like Vesuvius and Etna, but more like the broad cratered Hawaaian caldera Kilauea.
		He used this correct inference, to wrongly state, "unhesitatingly, without fearing an impeachment of our sobriety," that the lunar crater rims were formed of overflowings of lava.
		Like many other 19th century scientists, Dana believed that the Moon (and Earth) formed in a molten state and its progressive cooling resulted in the formation of smaller and smaller craters.
