Companion Moon Volcano
About 3 kilometers east of Moon Lake, there is another volcanic crater. The crater is oval-shaped, measuring 400 meters in length and 200 meters in width. The highest elevation at the edge of the crater is 1,156 meters above sea level, and it was originally called the 1156 Highland Crater. The base diameter of the crater ranges from 750 to 800 meters, with an elevation of 1,050 meters and a relative height difference of 100 meters. There is no water accumulation inside the crater. Unlike Moon Lake, the lava overflow outlet of the Companion Moon Volcano is located in the northeast direction, about 50 meters deep, with the bottom of the outlet at an elevation of 1,060 meters. Moon Lake and the Companion Moon Volcano are situated to the west and east respectively—one large and one small, one high and one low, one erupted earlier and the other later, one with water and the other without. Their shapes are similar, resembling siblings.
