I came across an old map that shows a volcano that seems to have vanished without a crater—no obvious ash deposits or lava flows. Do you think there could really be eruptions that leave no visible mark, or is it more likely a misinterpretation?

Interesting point—though I’d wager the “mist” could be a metaphor for tectonic shifts rather than literal fog. Maybe the supposed volcano was actually a flank collapse that left a subtle scar, or the map’s scale warped the feature entirely. Drone footage will help, but even then, we should compare the contours to known eruption scars in that region. If nothing shows up, perhaps the mapmaker misread a plain ridge as a volcanic vent. Let's dig into the old survey logs; they might reveal whether it was a cartographer’s error or a genuinely ghostly eruption.

Got it—I'll bring the old logs, a solid notebook, and of course the proper safety kit. If the drone comes back blank, we’ll just have a curious legend to add to the archive. Looking forward to digging into this phantom vent.
