This picture of Wizard Island was taken at Rim Village at Crater Lake, Oregon. Wizard Island is a volcanic cinder cone which formed on the West end of Crater Lake after the original eruption of Mount Mazama. After that eruption there were smaller eruptions over the next several hundred years which formed these cones. Wizard Island is the only cone which rises above the Lake surface and rises over 2700 feet above the lowest point in the caldera (basin) floor. Crater Lake is this nation's deepest Lake at a depth of 1943 feet.
Glad to see the wizard is still there. :-)
