After the cataclysmic collapse of Mt. Mazama, a caldera was formed encompassing what is now Crater Lake. After the explosion, ash covered an area as far east as present day Nebraska. Additional volcanoes erupted in the following years above and below the surface of the lake. From the boat tour we were able to summit Wizard Island-- the lone visible volcano at the surface. This image is atop Wizard Island.
