A bit story of Crater Lake: Mount Mazama is a destroyed stratovolcano in the Oregon part of the Cascade Volcanic Arc and the Cascade Range. The volcano's collapsed caldera holds Crater Lake, and the entire mountain is located within Crater Lake National Park.
Mazama was destroyed by a volcanic eruption that occurred around 5,677 (± 150) BC. The eruption reduced Mazama's approximate 12,000 foot (3,700 m) height by around a mile (1600 m). Much of the volcano fell into the volcano's partially emptied neck and magma chamber. At 8,159 feet (2,487 m), Hillman Peak is now the highest point on the rim. The eruption is the most severe volcano eruption ever in the North America according to human knowledge.
Crater Lake has inspired people for hundreds of years. No place else on earth combines a deep, pure lake, so blue in color; sheer surrounding cliffs, almost two thousand feet high; two picturesque islands; and a violent volcanic past. It is a place of immeasurable beauty, and an outstanding outdoor laboratory and classroom.
Crater Lake is the deepest lake in America and one of the deepest in the world. Its incredible blue comes from the absolute cleanness, great depth and the sunshine.
Double crater to be precise. the module is 32x32, but it's surrounded by 10 "blank" 8x16 modules to show how it would look in a larger terrain.
I need a bit more empty space around my moonbase, and a crater does create that space atmosphere.
The crater inside is new dark grey while the rest of the terrain is old dark grey.
Crater Lake is located in Southern Oregon on the crest of the Cascade Mountain range, 100 miles east of the Pacific Ocean. It lies inside a caldera, or volcanic basin, created when the 12,000 foot high Mount Mazama collapsed 7,700 years ago following a large eruption.
Generous amounts of winter snow, averaging 533 inches per year, supply the lake with water. There are no inlets or outlets to the lake. Crater Lake, at 1,943 feet deep, is the seventh deepest lake in the world and the deepest in the United States.
Ubehebe Crater is located at the north tip of the Cottonwood Mountains in Death Valley, Ca. The crater is half a mile 500 to 777 feet deep. The age of the crater is estimated from 2,000 to 7,000 years old.
I have quite a few more shots from my trip to Crater Lake that I will upload over the next several months. Hope everyone has a great weekend! : )
The 45 km wide Jezero Crater, landing site of the MSL Perseverance (Mars 2020) rover. This image is a mosaic incorporating high-resolution surface imagery by Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) Context Camera (CTX), MRO Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM), and Mars Express HRSC collected between 2004 and 2019. The image scale is approximately 6 meters per pixel.
Jezero Crater is an ancient crater that is approximately 45 km in diameter. The crater once hosted a large lake, which can be deduced from the large river canyons which cut into its western and eastern rims. The eastern channel, which flows away from the crater, could only have formed when water overtopped the rim and carved a drainage valley through erosion.
The most compelling geologic feature of Jezero is the large delta at the mouth of the western canyon. On Earth, deltas have unusually good biological preservation due to rapid burial by sediments being delivered by a river. The Jezero delta is also associated with carbonate rocks, a rare occurrence on the Martian surface. These rocks break down rapidly in acidic conditions, suggesting the lake was full of water that was near neutral or slightly alkaline pH - benign conditions for the emergence of life resembling terrestrial organisms. As a mission designed to search for evidence of ancient Martian life, there were few better spots for Perseverance to look.

36 MP of crater goodness.
You'd think that taking a good photo of the moon would be child's play but our atmosphere is trying hard to make it impossible.
Yesterday, finally, I managed to take a high resolution image of the moon, at an interesting phase, showing plenty of features.
That is a stitch of four individual frames to cover to whole surface of our satellite. About 15 minutes of capture time, 100GB of data and 4 hours of processing.
Each of the four frames was created by selecting the best portions of 100 frames from a movie of 1000 frames.
Don't hesitate to click on the picture to zoom in (you can do it twice) to start visiting the moon at 100% resolution.
Crater Lake National Park, Oregon.
Crater Lake National Park, established May 22, 1902 is in the Cascade Mountains of southern Oregon. It’s known for its namesake Crater Lake, formed by the now-collapsed volcano, Mount Mazama. Wizard Island is a cinder cone near the western edge of the lake.
Crater Lake has no streams flowing into or out of it. All water that enters the lake is eventually lost from evaporation or subsurface seepage. The lake's water commonly has a striking blue hue, and the lake is re-filled entirely from direct precipitation in the form of snow and rain.

Everything in this modest image leads to the Gassendi crater. Seeing was definitely not my best ally; The image of the Moon on the computer screen swayed from side to side as a result of atmospheric fluctuations. A lunar photograph does not remotely live up to the view through the eyepiece of my maksutov telescope; The poor vision that was evident with the camera was not noticeable to direct view and all was calm in the soft, deep contrast of the telescope. An intense glow towards the lunar terminator and then, the deepest darkness.
Gassendi rises above the Mare Humorum crowned by a circular rim, barely distorted here by the effect of foreshortening, and a small crater that breaks the edge, generating the visual idea of a diamond ring; Cracks come and go between cliffs and fissures forged in stone and lava millions of years ago.
Perhaps due to the turbulence or my own inexperience, the photograph is far from being a good lunar photo, but it preserves the spatial mystery and the indecipherable sensation of silence of a mythical lunar wasteland.

Crater Lake in the Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair National Park, Tasmania. From Crater Peak.
The lake isn't at all volcanic but glacial in origin. The main exposed rock face is heavily folded Precambrian quartzite and quartz-mica schists. Ice in the Pleistocene Age picked out a major fold and exploited the weakness leaving cliffs a couple of hundred feet high.
The lake is almost surrounded by Fagus (Nothofagus gunnii) clinging to the crevices and clad in full autumn colour. The Fagus is interspersed with Pencil (Athrotaxis cupressoides) and King Billy Pines (Athrotaxis selaginoides).
Dove Lake can be seen in the background along with Perrys Peak and quite a few of the walking tracks. The Walls of Jerusalem National Park can be seen on the distant horizon.
Not as sharp as I would like really. Was blowing its damn head off when I took this from Crater Peak... should have upped the ISO to speed things up a bit.

Meteor Crater was formed 50000 years ago, when a huge Meteorite 50 meters in diameter and weighing 300000 tons crashed at a speed between 10 and 20 km / s.
The impact generated as much energy as 150 Atomic bombs.

Crater Lake, Cradle Mountain Lake St Clair National Park. Crater Peak in the background.
The lake is glacial in origin not volcanic as the name suggests. Crater Peak in the centre of the frame and the boathouse in my previos post is out of sight on the right.
Bright orange is the endemic Deciduous Beech or Fagus (Nothofagus gunnii) in autumn splendour.

Craters of the Moon in Idaho ... amazing to see this volcanic land exposed there from one of the past super volcano explosions from several million years ago.
The Original of this shot was taken years ago and posted but I wanted to reprocess it with Dynamic Auto Painter to see what I would achieve with it.. Not bad but perhaps another preset would have been better... Happy Fence Friday, Everybody !!
Something a little different.. The picture of Crater Lake was created in MidJourney, the frame was created by me... I thought it was a very good rendition of the lake and looks very much like it is from the same spot that I took some pictures some years ago...
I watched the sky become clear and headed straight to Volcanoes National Park to shoot the Milky Way. I made a 2.5 mile hike to Mauna Ulu crater. I veered off the trail a couple of times, but didn’t think anything of it. It was the middle of the night and the trail has many turns. I made it safely to the Crater but on the way back, that’s when things got tricky. Once past a certain point, there is no real trail up to the crater. I tried to find the trail but failed. After over an hour of hiking blind, I finally found the trail! I was so relived to get back safely, albeit rather late.
This photo is my most complicated edit yet. It is a combination of 48 images. Some for stitching the panorama and some for noise averaging.
The bluest lake I've ever seen. Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the United States and 7th deepest in the world. The rim is at 7,000 feet and it gets about 66 inches of rain a year. The basin that eventually became Crater Lake formed when a 12,000-foot-tall volcano called Mount Mazama erupted and collapsed 7,700 years ago.

Wizard Island is a cinder cone that sits near the southwest shore of Crater Lake. (Please view Large)
This was a roadside pulloff along the North Cascades Scenic Highway heading back to Ross Lake National Recreation Area. What drew me into this image…well, other than the obvious amazing view of Crater Mountain was the way the ridges seemingly crisscrossed each other bringing a focus, so to speak, to the snowcapped mountain off in the distance.
The huts at Crater Cove located on the Northern Beaches of Sydney and within the Sydney Harbour National Park. These huts were built by a group who wanted to live off the grid. The access to the are is via a little know bush track, once you find it the walk down is great and you have some spectacular views of the harbour and out through North and South headlands
I still have a lot of photos to post from my more recent vacation. Just going back to the archives for another look at Crater Lake. This view is from one of the many overlooks on East Rim Drive, Crater Lake National Park.
There were wonderful, silver gnarled tree stumps everywhere! (only a photographer, huh?)
I liked how the shape of the wood mimicked the shape of the mountain in the far background.
This image was taken on 22 March 2021 in the Lunae Planum region [16.74°N, 300.9°E] of Mars by the CaSSIS camera on the ESA-Roscosmos ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO).
This region is known to be covered by large lava deposits probably from the nearby Tharsis Montes volcanoes. In this image three medium-sized impact craters take centre stage, with many smaller impacts pockmarking the scene. Zooming into the larger craters it is possible to see layers in the inner rim that could represent the successive accumulation of lava flows in this area.
TGO’s full science mission began in 2018. The spacecraft is not only returning spectacular images, but also providing the best ever inventory of the planet’s atmospheric gases, and mapping the planet’s surface for water-rich locations. It will also provide data relay services for the second ExoMars mission comprising the Rosalind Franklin rover and Kazachok platform, when it arrives on Mars in 2023.
