The outer ring was least affected. Aside from occasional scholars visiting to study the volcano, no one else set foot on Volcano Island.
Carried by the hot wind, their ship sailed into the waters surrounding the island.
The island had almost no vegetation, its most striking feature being an orange-red river. It was a river of molten lava, stretching from the island's base to the sea; the rest of the area was barren.
Although it was an active volcano, Alka hadn't expected lava to be continuously flowing from it.
As the surging lava flowed into the sea, they navigated their ship around the island to observe it. Halfway through their observation, they discovered a very good spot to dock.
They immediately docked the ship, then jumped off the sailboat and set foot on the island.
Pororo remained standing on the deck, waving at them. This time, he would stay behind on the ship.
