Though this is probably more suitable for the theory blog, I must agree with the conclusion that the volcano is next to the sea, possibly even being an island. Were it a lake, the water would most likely have all evaporated by now due to the heat and the fact that rain rarely falls at the volcano (of course, never during gameplay).
