SP Crater2024 Aug 6
Why is there a crater in Arizona named "SP"? Isn't that a strange name for a Volcano? Why, yes, it is.
Quoth the Volcano Adventure Guide from 2005:
It is located on private ranch land and was named by the original owner, C.J. Babbit, in the 1880s. He was not, alas, as poetic as [the man who named the similar-looking Sunset Crater]. The bowl-shaped crater and the black spatter on the rim reminded this earthly person of a pot of excrement, and the name stuck. Mapmakers couldn't bring themselves to spell out the name, so it became "SP" – probably the only volcano in the world to be called after a rude acronym.

Quoth the Volcano Adventure Guide from 2005: "Shit Pot". "SP" stands for "Shit Pot."
