Wow...if that's a meteor crater, it is over 20 miles across!Tue Mar 14 00:02:54 -0800 2006 From: josephizf
That's not an impact or volcanic crater, it took some research, but I eventually managed to find this forum thread about it on another site:

awesome. Even has a reply from someone at CVO.
Mon Mar 20 11:38:26 -0800 2006 So, what should I title this? "Oregon's Basin and Range"? From: wolachii
It's actually an ancient volcano that collapsed into itself during an eruption. Park officials called it Mt Mazama before the collapse.Sun Mar 26 22:48:16 -0800 2006 From: wolachii
Ignore my last post - I see you're all referring to that "circular" spot to the east of Crater Lake.Sun Mar 26 22:59:58 -0800 2006 From: tedder
I confirmed with a well-known meteor/crater expert that this is actually a *volcanic* crater. I don't know anything about it though- if someone turns it up, please post it here.Fri Nov 17 18:27:45 -0800 2006 |
