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."

79. Mt. Mazama
Mt. Mazama
Description
Listen to the startling story in which geology gives us a picture of creation days in this mysterious region. Once a great mountain reared a smoking peak many thousands of feet above the present peaceful level of Crater Lake. Away to the northward stood other volcanoes - Baker, Rainier, Adams, St. Helens, Hood, Jefferson, and noble Mt. Multnomah which towered above the present region of the Three Sisters, while to the southward were Shasta and Lassen, all of which joined Mt. Mazama in belching forth materials which helped build the Cascade Mountains. Most of these old volcanoes stand today quiet and cold in their shining armor of snow and ice - but Multnomah and Mazama are missing. Evidently there came a day when Mt. Mazama poured forth vast quantities of lava, creating a great cavern beneath, and then collapsed and sank within the grave it had made for itself. This drawing shows the bare outline of Mt. Mazama as it must have towered in its greatest days.
