Reflected Phantom

In glorious sunlight, the island known as the Phantom Ship is anything but a will o' the wisp. However, this shot gives a good impression of the island which is over 50m high. It is a remnant of a 400,000-year-old volcanic dyke and makes one of only two islands inside Crater Lake, Oregon.

 

The surface of the lake is some 250m below the position on the crater rim from which I took this shot.
