Phantom Ship, Crater Lake National Park

E X P L O R E # 2 1

"Phantom Ship" is a small rugged island in Crater Lake which consists of 400,000-year-old andesite, the oldest rock within the caldera. It is a natural rock formation pillar which derives its name from its resemblance to a ghost ship, especially in foggy and low-light conditions.

Seven different trees live on Phantom Ship, an island in Crater Lake. There are also colonies of violet green swallows, and several varieties of wildflowers and lichens living there.

Crater Lake is known to be the deepest lake in the United States at 589 m (1,932 ft) and the seventh deepest in the world. It was formed when a massive eruption of Mount Mazama 7700 years ago caused the mountain to collapse, leaving a steaming caldera. Centuries of rain and snow filled the caldera creating Crater Lake. The magnificent intense blue of Crater Lake is due to its great depth and clarity.
