Afternoon

Crater Lake National Park

The fifth oldest national park in the United States is also the world’s largest crater lake, Lake Chili. 7,700 years ago, Mount Mazama erupted, leaving a basin where the peak was originally. Thousands of years of rain and snow filled the basin and formed a lake. The annual snowfall here exceeds ten meters. The pure deep blue of Lake Chili is unmatched by other lakes. It is the deepest lake in the United States, with a depth of nearly 600 meters. There is no place in the world that combines such a deep, pure, and blue lake at the same time, pure as a fairy without dust.
