The Crater Lake (in English Crater Lake) is a lake of volcanic origin, in the state of Oregon, perhaps one of the most spectacular landscapes in the United States, particularly in winter, when it is covered with snow.
It is approximately 8 x 9.6 km wide and has a maximum depth of 597m, which makes it the deepest in the country and the 7th in the world.
It is very famous for the intense blue color of its waters and how crystalline they become, you can clearly see objects at a depth of 30m, this is due to not having tributaries or sediment deposits that cloud it.
It was created by the gigantic eruption of Mount Mazama, around the year 4860 BC, and since then all the eruptions that have occurred have been inside the caldera, which is now about 1,220 meters deep.
These secondary eruptions created Wizard Island and other minor volcanic features.
Crater Lake, Oregon
Accumulated rain and summer melt have been filling the crater to its current content.
The volcano retains some hydrothermal activity, suggesting that it may explode again one day.
The crater did not contain animal life until at the end of the 19th century when man began to introduce various species of fish into its interior, and species such as rainbow trout still survive today.
