Volcano Summit

The Volcano Summit is a large volcanic cavern found deep inside Eldin Volcano in Skyward Sword. As described by Ledd the Mogma, it is too hot for a normal traveler to explore. Link must travel through the summit many times in a row to extinguish the various pillars of flames that are blocking the path to the Fire Sanctuary where the final Sacred Flame rests.

Appearance and Features
The Volcano Summit is a super-heated area with magma walls and pools of lava located deep inside Eldin Volcano. Link recieves the Fireshield Earrings after completeing Din's Silent Realm Trail, which protect him from the extreme heat and from setting himself aflame, allowing him to enter the summit. There is also a large outside area of the summit. Comprising of large, vine covered rock pillars and a small spring of water which Link has to visit to fill up his Empty Bottle.

The Volcano Summit leads to the entrance to the Fire Sanctuary which Gorko the Goron, who suspects that there are many Goddess Cubes nearby, states is blocked by pillars of flames. In order to extinguished them, Link must pour water onto the tongues of the frog statues above them with Water-filled bottles. Later Link has to lead the Ancient Robot Scrapper, who is carrying the Water Dragon's Basin, through the cavern, fending off the Lizalfos and other native enemies who have settled in the area. Eventually they extinguish the flames blocking the entrance to the Fire Sanctuary, allowing Link to continue to his adventure to find the final Sacred Flame.

Later, Link is captured and imprisoned by the local Bokoblins after Eldin Volcano erupts while he is descending into the area. He returns to the summit after escaping capture and reclaiming his equipment and blade from the demons to find a chamber inside the cavern that houses Eldin the Fire Dragon, who caused the eruption out of an explosion of his power. Link learns the second part of the Song of the Hero from him.

Most of the enemies that are located inside the Volcano Summit seem to be related to fire or are cursed, and include Fire Keese, Cursed Keese, Cursed Spume and Lizalfos.

Trivia

 * The Volcano Summit and Death Mountain Crater seem to be very closely related or the same location due to many theorizing Eldin Volcano becomes Death Mountain in the future.
 * Both the Volcano Summit and Death Mountain Crater give damage to Link due to the extreme heat. The only way Link can prevent this is by recieving an item in this case the Red Tunic and the Fireshield Earrings.
