Crater Lake volcano, USA
Crater Lake volcano. Wizard Island (centre), a volcanic cone inside Crater Lake, Oregon, USA. Crater Lake formed around 6900 years ago, following the collapse of a large volcano. Wizard Island is a new volcano, formed after the collapse. It rises 230 metres above the surface of the lake. The lake itself is around 600 metres deep, and the height of the caldera wall ranges from 300-600 metres above the level of the lake (equivalent to over 2000 metres above sea level). The lake is around 8 kilometres wide and 10 kilometres long

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Crater Lake volcano in Oregon, USA. At the heart of this stunning landscape lies Wizard Island, a volcanic cone that emerged after the collapse of its predecessor around 6900 years ago. Towering above the lake's surface, Wizard Island reaches an impressive height of 230 meters. Crater Lake itself is a true marvel, with depths plunging to approximately 600 meters and caldera walls soaring between 300-600 meters above sea level. Spanning over 8 kilometers wide and stretching for about 10 kilometers in length, this natural wonder is a testament to Earth's geological history. The image captures the serene beauty of this scene as it showcases nature's power and artistry. The contrasting colors and textures highlight the unique geology found within North America. From afar, one can admire the striking horizon where land meets water while being reminded of our planet's ever-changing physical features. As we gaze upon this photograph from Science Photo Library, we are transported into a world shaped by volcanic forces and geological processes. It serves as a reminder of how our Earth continues to evolve over time while offering us breathtaking landscapes that inspire awe and appreciation for our natural surroundings.
