Excerpt from Hawaiian Legends of Volcanoes (Mythology) Collected and Translated From the Hawaiian

Perhaps its surface was all covered with vast circular lakes of lava such as our telescopes reveal in great perfection, ring upon ring, over the surface Of the moon. On the moon these rings and pits are now cold, remnant from a time when the gases from the inside of our satellite were bub bling forth from a great internal heat supply and bringing with them oceans of slag which seethed and swirled in circular pools which formed sym metrically within ramparts of their own spatter.
