Islands in a Sea of Lava.

The valley OF the ancient Snake River
IN Idaho was flooded with great outpour-
incs of black lava. which spread out
sheet on sheet. buried the old land sur
face. and partly filed the valley with
molten rock. which solicited and has re-
manned to this day undisturbed eXcep.
for the Sorges that the streams have cut
il it. In some places old mountains pro-
iect through the petrified lava food as
islands project above the surface of the
sea. and old ridges stick out into IT as
capes and promontories.
The area covered by the Snake River
lava is about 2l.o2o square miles. So far
as is now known. there is but one lava
field in North America of greater extent
the Columbia River lava field. which
covers about an.ooo square miles. In
