Wizard Island

Wizard Island is the result of a volcano inside a volcano. After the eruption of Mt. Mazama blew off its top and collapsed into the caldera that would become Crater Lake, other eruptions took place forming cinder cones on the bottom of the crater. They would all later be covered by water except for the one that is seen in this photo. It was named "Wizard Island" in 1885 by Will G. Steel.
