Description
As I made the 4 hour trek up to Crater Lake, I dreamed of getting an image like this at sundown. My dream came true on this day. :-)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The lake is 5 by 6 miles (8.0 by 9.7 km) across, with a caldera rim ranging in elevation from 7,000 to 8,000 feet (2,100 to 2,400 m) and an average lake depth of 1,148 feet (350 m). The lake's maximum depth has been measured at 1,949 feet (594 m),[1][12][13] which fluctuates slightly as the weather changes.[1] On the basis of maximum depth, Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States,[3] the second deepest in North America (after Great Slave Lake in Canada), and the ninth deepest lake in the world (Lake Baikal is the deepest). Crater Lake is often cited as the seventh deepest lake in the world, but this ranking excludes Lake Vostok in Antarctica,[14][15] which is situated under about 13,000 feet (4,000 m) of ice, and the recent soundings of San Mart�n Lake, which is located on the border of Chile and Argentina.[16]
However, using average depths of the world's deepest lakes, Crater Lake becomes the deepest lake in the Western Hemisphere and the third deepest in the world. According to limnologist Owen Hoffman, "Crater Lake is the deepest, when compared on the basis of average depth among lakes whose basins are entirely above sea level. The average depths of Lakes Baikal and Tanganyika are deeper than Crater Lake; however, both have basins that extend below sea level."[15][17]
