Phantom Ship

USA / Oregon / Chiloquin /

Crater Lake National Park.
Phantom Ship is the second largest island in the lake after Wizard Island, but it's much more ancient. It's the remains of a 400,000 year old lava plug, whereas the crater (caldera) itself was only formed 7,700 years ago in the explosion of Mt. Mazama
