Description
"Wizard Island, a perfect cinder cone rising 763 feet above the surface of Crater Lake, and Llao Rock, named for a famous Klamath Indian God, are seen here from Discovery Point in 1853 by John Wesley Hillman, a young prospector searching for Lost Cabin Mine. Crater Lake was formed thousands of years ago when Mt. Mazama erupted so much of its molten interior that it collapsed, leaving a cauldron with eventually filled with melted snow and rain water, Klamath County."
