Lava Beds, Santa Catalina Island
LAVA BEDS: “In several parts of the Pacific Slope of the Salta Verde are found barren lava beds and soils of volcanic ash. From one of these, about a quarter of an acre in extent, water oozes in rivulets forming a verdureless bog impossible to traverse. Though the water is clear and inviting it will be found bitter and repulsive.” [Millspaugh & Nuttall Flora of Santa Catalina Island (1923)].
