Crater Lake
Oregon, USA
Crater Lake is famed for its stunningly deep blue water and the small island, known as the Phantom Ship, seen in the distance. Created by the collapse of Mount Mazama over 7,000 years ago, this caldera is filled solely by rain and snow, making it one of the world's clearest lakes. It is located within Crater Lake National Park, offering breathtaking vistas of the surrounding cliffs and dense forests. The park draws visitors for hiking, exploring volcanic formations, and winter sports.
