  • The deep blue color of Crater Lake is visible in this early spring aerial view over Crater Lake National Park, Oregon. Crater Lake, located in the caldera of what was once Oregon's Mount Mazama, is the deepest lake in the United States and the seventh deepest in the world. Its deep blue color results from the clarity of the water. The water is so clear that sunlight travels deep into the lake, losing all but the blue wavelengths in the process. Crater Lake has a maximum depth of 1,946 feet (593 meters). Wizard Island, a volcanic cinder cone that rises about 755 feet (230 meters) above the lake, is visible at the bottom-center of the lake in this image.

  • A hint of golden sunrise color shines through the dark storm clouds hovering over Wizard Island and Crater Lake in Crater Lake National Park, Oregon. Crater Lake, the deepest fresh water lake in North America, is located in a caldera at the top of what was once Mount Mazama. A massive eruption around 5,700 B.C. caused the mountain to collapse. While the Wizard Island cone is long dormant, there is some hydrothermal activity at the bottom of Crater Lake, suggesting the mountain is still active.

  • An osprey (Pandion haliaetus) flies with a red kokanee salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) that it caught in Hayden Lake, Idaho. Kokanee are genetically similar to sockeye salmon. The main difference is that kokanee spend their entire lives in freshwater, unlike salmon with spend most of their lives in the ocean and return to freshwater to spawn.

  • Rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus nauseosus var. consimilis) grows under a fiery sunrise at the edge of Mono Lake in Mono County, California. Mono Lake has no outlet, so salt accumulates and makes the water alkeline. Limestone columns called tufa towers are visible in the lake. Tufa towers form under water. They were exposed when Los Angeles diverted some of the fresh water that feeds the lake, causing the lake level to drop.

In late September or early October, the needles turn golden and drop, just like the leaves on deciduous trees. Several peaks are visible above the lake. From left to right, the peaks are Liberty Bell and the Early Winters Spires.

  • A natural nighttime pillar of light known as the Zodiacal Light shines above and is reflected in Crater Lake, Oregon. The Zodiacal Light results from the sun shining on dust particles left behind by comets. The dust particles - the largest of which are believed to be just 0.3 mm and miles from its nearest neighboring particle - orbit the sun in a range from Mars to beyond Jupiter. Visible year-round in the tropics, the Zodiacal Light is best viewed immediately around the spring and fall solstice farther from the equator. The planet Venus, the brightest object in the sky, is visible near the peak of the Zodiacal Light and is also reflected in Crater Lake. The Milky Way, visible on the right, intersects with the Zodiacal Light at the top-center of the image. Crater Lake, which is actually a caldera, formed when Mount Mazama erupted violently about 7,700 years ago, causing its summit to collapse. Subsequent eruptions sealed the caldera, trapping rain water and snowmelt, forming the lake, which has a maximum depth of 1,949 feet (594 meters). Wizard Island, a volcanic cinder code, is visible in the foreground.

  • Several mountains in the Canadian Rockies reflect in the turquoise-colored Moraine Lake, located in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada, at sunrise. This area is known as the Valley of the Ten Peaks, named for the ten tall mountains at the lake's edge. Moraine Lake has a unique aqua color that results from the silt deposited by glaciers.

  • The sun sets behind the rim of Crater Lake in this view from the Cloud Cap Overlook in Crater Lake National Park, Oregon. Crater Lake, which is actually a caldera, formed when Mount Mazama erupted violently about 7,700 years ago, causing its summit to collapse. Subsequent eruptions sealed the caldera, trapping rain water and snowmelt, forming the lake, which has a maximum depth of 1,949 feet (594 meters). Wizard Island, a volcanic cinder cone, is visible in the lake just beneath the sun; Phantom Ship, another remnant of volcanic activity, is visible as an island on the left side of the image.
