Crater Lake [antikvár]

rH '••¦¦slA'-iff • r Lrafer Lake: overwhelmingly yet sublimely beautiful. Moody. At times brilliantly blue, ominously somber; at other times buried in a mass of brooding clouds.

Many visitors recognize that the gentle slopes outside the rim resemble the sides of other Cascade volcanoes, so it is not difficult to imagine that a similar mountain once stood here.
