Crater Lake National Park is located in southern Oregon at the crest of the Cascade Mountain Range. It protects the deepest lake in the United States. Fed entirely by rain and snow, the lake is considered to be the cleanest large body of water in the world. The water is exceptional for its clarity and intense blue color. The lake rests inside a caldera formed 7,700 years ago when a 12,000-foot-tall volcano collapsed following a major eruption. The eruption may have been the largest in North America in the past 640,000 years. Today, the lake and its surrounding old-growth forests harbor a variety of interesting life forms, including rare plant and animal species. The area also has a rich human history, from the American Indians who witnessed the big eruption, to the prospectors who stumbled across the lake in the 1850s, to the citizens who campaigned for the lake's protection in the 1880s, to the scientists who explored the depths of the lake by submarine in the 1980s.
