Crater Lake
Caldera
formed when Mount Mazima
erupted thousands of years ago.
Lake water's warmed by remains of a volcano;
Oregon’s state park lures tourists to take a swim.
Mount Mazima may erupt again
beneath the surface of
Crater Lake.
* “The water is heated by hot rock beneath the fractured caldera floor.
Scientists are not certain whether any magma still remains underground
but it is likely that Mount Mazama will erupt again someday.”
