Eric and I hustle back to rejoin the others, passing by the now-more- noticeably steaming creek, which appears from beneath the ice shelf in the mid-distance of the photo.  Behind  it is the dome (right) and the southeast crater wall (left).  We literally run downslope, meet up with the remainder of the group, and conclude a great hike.

What a trip!
