Note 220 — Chapter XXV · ASCENT OF ADAM’S PEAK
Reading edition
It always seems strange to find water springs in the hard rock at a great altitude. I saw two similar springs on the extreme summit of Fuji-Yama in Japan, which is simply a dormant crater, and others on the summit and in the crater of Haleakala in the Sandwich Isles.
