Volcanodle
Puzzle #67 was Taisetsuzan.
The Taisetsuzan volcano group lies at the northern end of the Taisetsu-Tokachi graben in central Hokkaido. It consists of a complex of stratovolcanoes and lava domes associated with a 2-km-wide caldera. The eight satellitic volcanoes are aligned along a ring fracture that is centered over the eastern rim of the caldera.

Volcanodle builds its record from Global Volcanism Program, Smithsonian Institution (Venzke, E. (ed.), Volcanoes of the World, volcano.si.edu). The description above comes from the same place the game credits on every reveal: A verbatim excerpt of the volcano's GVP Geological Summary. The puzzle itself is still playable in the archive, and every answer that has been and gone is listed on the past-answers page.
