Dawn on Mt. Sneffles

The sun is just about to hit. If you think Sneffles is a weird name, you'd be right. This, from the Wikipedia entry: Mount Sneffels was named after the volcano Snæfell, which is located on the tip of the Snæfellsnes peninsula in Iceland. That mountain and its glacier, Snæfellsjökull, which caps the crater like a convex lens, were featured in the Jules Verne novel A Journey to the Center of the Earth.
