The average depths of Lakes Baikal and Tanganyika are deeper than Crater Lake; however, both have basins that extend below sea level." [19] [21]

Crater Lake is called Giiwas in the Klamath language. [7] Steel had helped map Crater Lake in 1886 with Clarence Dutton of the United States Geological Survey.
