Crater Lake is a breathtaking natural wonder, so distinct that it can even be seen from space. Formed when Mount Mazama erupted and collapse 7,700 years ago, the massive caldera eventually filled with rain and snowmelt, creating the deepest lake in the United States at 1,949ft (594m).
The caldera itself plunges even deeper, reaching 2,148ft (655m). Known for its striking deep blue colour and exceptional clarity, Crater Lake is a mesmerizing sight. Two unique islands rise from its waters – Wizard Island, a cinder cone formed by later volcanic activity, and Phantom Ship, an eerie rock formation resembling a ghostly vessel.
The lake’s pristine waters, fed solely by precipitation,
make it one of the cleanest and clearest lakes in the world.
