Crater Lake is a volcanic crater lake in south-central Oregon and is famous for its deep blue color and water clarity.
It was formed by the collapse of the volcano Mount Mazama approximately 7700 years ago.
The lake has a maximum depth of 1,949 feet and is the deepest in the United States.
There are no rivers flowing in or out of the lake and it is kept full mostly from snow melt.
The average snowfall is around 43 feet per year.
Crater Lake features two small islands. Wizard Island, located near the western shore of the lake, is a cinder cone approximately 316 acres in size.
Phantom Ship, a natural rock pillar, is located near the southern shore.

Nice pics of a great place! The coldest I've ever been in my life was shortly after this pic, that snow melt is real
