7,700 years ago Mount Mazama erupted in volcanic fury, destroying itself and leaving a massive crater where the mountain's peak once was. Now the caldera is filled with the deepest lake in the entire United States, containing a volume of over 18 cubic kilometers of water.
I made the trip to Crater Lake in July 2021 and was stunned by the deep blue water and sheer scale of such a massive landmark. It's impossible to take a single photo of the entire lake - but from the western viewpoint near Wizard Island, I was able to scan a wide panoramic photo of the whole lake from end to end, about 5 miles across. Wizard Island appears disproportionately large due to its proximity to my perspective.
Crater Lake is an example of how unimaginable destruction - the violent explosion of a 12,000 ft. high mountain - can result in stunning beauty that we get to enjoy thousands of years later. Creation is born out of chaos.
643 unique stories are told through photography. Strangers from around the world have submitted photos to the first Collective Strangers photography mint.
