Crater Lake and Mountains of the Moon, or Ruwenzori.
Interestingly, Bonney quotes Scott-Elliot and Gregory in writing
"Ruwenzori at the end of Lake Edward Albert Nyanza, is
not volcanic, or if there are any craters on it they are small and sporadic."
The rock is metamorphic, and the mountains are believed to
have been tilted and squeezed upwards by plate movement.
That is, not volcanic, but I like the name and have left them
on my site.
