Fig. 1Wizard Island in the caldera

Landform

A caldera lake filling the collapsed volcano Mazama. The deepest lake in the United States, famously blue, with a cinder-cone island.

Field note

Wizard Island is a volcano inside a volcano. The water is so clear and deep it swallows every color but blue. Snow often rings the rim well into July.
