v I thought this was Stromboli?
vi Stout conquistador is obviously Cortez, because Keats, but my geography fails me.
vii I concur that this is Vesuvius.
viii ...which is not East of Java.
x As Resolution was an antarctic research vessel, is this Erebus?

oh yes i forgot stromboli -- so i *is* etna (maybe)

actually keats names the wrong person in terms of "peak in darien" and gazing "with a wild surmise" -- this may affect the geography!

erebus is v likely in that case (terror may just be a mountain)
