Crater Lake

Oregon's crown jewel, Crater Lake, is a place of superlatives. Not only is it the deepest lake in the United States and the third deepest in the world by average depth, but it is also among the clearest and most pristine bodies of water on the planet. Ringed by sheer cliffs on all sides, no streams enter or leave the lake; it is filled almost exclusively by rain or snow falling directly onto its pure waters. This extreme depth and astonishing clarity results in an impossibly deep blue hue that I would argue cannot be experienced anywhere else on Earth.

Crater Lake partially fills the vast caldera of Mt. Mazama, a once-mighty volcano in the Cascade Range that destroyed itself in a catastrophic eruption approximately 7700 years ago. This scale model reveals the extraordinary outcome of that event in stunning detail, both above and below the lake's surface. Whether you’ve already experienced the magic of Crater Lake or have yet to cross it off your bucket list, this exquisite piece is sure to enchant. Bring the allure of this natural wonder into your home and let it inspire your next adventure!
