Wizard Island in Crater Lake – Aug 31, 2014<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Crater Lake was created from the eruption of a volcano on Mount Mazama over 7,000 years ago where the top of the mountain collapsed back into the volcano. The lake is the deepest (1,949ft) and purest in the USA and is this amazing blue color. Wizard Island is a cinder cone from eruptions after the collapse. Img 42444<\/p>\n
