Crater Lake Institute Director and limnologist Owen Hoffman states that "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." [19] [21]
Quilotoa (Spanish pronunciation:) is a water-filled crater lake and the most western volcano in the Ecuadorian Andes.The 3-kilometre (2 mi)-wide caldera was formed by the collapse of this dacite volcano following a catastrophic VEI-6 eruption about 800 years ago, which produced pyroclastic flows and lahars that reached the Pacific Ocean, and spread an airborne deposit of volcanic ash ...
Crater Lake is often referred to as the seventh-deepest lake in the world, but this former listing excludes the approximately 3,000-foot (910 m) depth of subglacial Lake Vostok in Antarctica, which resides under nearly 13,000 feet (4,000 m) of ice, and the recent report of a 2,740-foot (840 m) maximum depth for Lake O'Higgins/San Martin ...
The crater lake of Mount Rinjani, Indonesia Lake Yeak Laom, Cambodia Baengnokdam crater lake of Hanla Mountain in winter, South Korea A volcanic crater lake is a lake in a crater that was formed by explosive activity or a collapse during a volcanic eruption .
Located at an altitude of 1,197 m [ a ], the lake was formed by phreatomagmatism, in other words it is a maar.Generally circular in shape with a diameter of 700 to 800 m and an area of 44 ha, it has an average depth of 29.5m and a maximum depth of 92m , making it the deepest in Auvergne [3] ( i.e. a volume of approximately 13 million m 3 of water).
The Old Man of the Lake in 2013. The Old Man of the Lake is a 30-foot (9 m) tall tree trunk, most likely a hemlock, that has been bobbing vertically in Crater Lake in Oregon, United States since at least 1896. The trunk is about 2 feet (61 cm) in diameter at the waterline and stands approximately 4 feet (1.2 m) above the water.
A volcanogenic lake is a lake formed as a result of volcanic activity. [1] They are generally a body of water inside an inactive volcanic crater ( crater lakes ) but can also be large volumes of molten lava within an active volcanic crater ( lava lakes ) and waterbodies constrained by lava flows, pyroclastic flows or lahars in valley systems.

The volcano has two vents about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) apart, and active fumaroles at the tallest summit. [25] Mount Denison is a 7,605-foot (2,318 m) peak with four related vents at the head of three glaciers, [26] the tallest point in the park. [9] Mount Kukak is another ice-covered volcano, 6,693 feet (2,040 m) tall.
