Wizard Island in Crater Lake

Image Description: "A close view of Wizard Island in the lake near the west shore. It is a perfect little volcano – a crater within a crater. Although a few pines are growing upon it, the island’s lava and ashes appear as if just cast from the internal furnace. The island rises several hundred feet above the lake-surface, and it’s crater is eighty feet deep. The island is a good view-point at noon, at evening, or when the blue cold crater glows and sparkles with the reflected fires of a million fiery worlds."
