At a sudden turning of the corridor, daylight flooded them and Bukawai stepped out into a small, circular basin in the hill, apparently the crater of an ancient volcano, one of those which never reached the dignity of a mountain and are little more than lava-rimmed pits closed to the earth's surface.

At the high end the skull forms a crater to bed that part of the mass; while under the long floor of this crater -- in another cavity seldom exceeding ten inches in length and as many in depth --reposes the mere handful of this monster's brain.

The crater itself--the ditch--was not so variegated in coloring, but yet, in its softness, richness, and unpretentious elegance, it was more charming, more fascinating to the eye.

In front of her a volcanic crater was pouring forth torrents of melted lava, and hurling masses of rock to an enormous height.

The weird flora and fauna of Caspak were as possible under the thick, warm atmospheric conditions of the super-heated crater as they were in the Mesozoic era under almost exactly similar conditions, which were then probably world-wide.

It is a volcano cone thrust up out of deep sea, with a segment of the crater wall broken out.

The eye might have gazed into the crater's gaping abysses, and followed the capricious fissures which wound through the immense plains.

She appeared completely riddled with craters, and her essentially volcanic character was apparent at each observation.
