Little Crater Lake is considered an oddity, with earlier geologists theorizing it formed from a collapsed lava tube because of its steep and overhanging walls. [2] Later geologists believe it originated from a volcanic maar [3] or was created from block faulting. [4]

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]
Crater Lake actually started as a mountain, Mount Mazama. A volcanic eruption roughly 7,700 years ago caused the mountain to collapse inward over time, forming a volcanic crater, the park says.

The Nash Crater cinder cone erupted lava flows about 3,850 years ago, which coursed west and blocked a stream to create Fish Lake and Lava Lake. The lava flows were unvegetated and blocky. [ 11 ] According to Sherrod et al. (2004), these flows, also known as the Fish Lake lava flow, represent the oldest lava flows near the Santiam and McKenzie ...

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. The conservation movement in the United States was gaining traction, so Steel's efforts to preserve the Mazama area were achieved on two scales, first with the creation of the local ...
