Mount Michael is an active stratovolcano on Saunders Island in the remote South Sandwich Islands of the South Atlantic Ocean. It is one of only a few volcanoes on Earth confirmed to host a persistent lava lake within its summit crater.
Blackstone Plain
Blackstone Plain is a small plain just south of Harper Point at the north end of Saunders Island, South Sandwich Islands. This lowland feature is made up of dark basaltic lavas and, in 1964, personnel from HMS Protector found it to be the only area of the island free from ice and snow.Ollivant Point
