“.“
Part Way Down Crater Wall, West Side, Crater Lake National Park, OR. The view opens with the exposed rocks, much as they have remained for ~7700 years after the explosion that took off the top half of the original Mount Mazama.
“Mazama is most famous for a catastrophic volcanic eruption that occurred around 5,677 (± 150) BC.[1][3] The eruption, estimated to have been 42 times more powerful than Mount St. Helens' 1980 blast, reduced Mazama's approximate 11,000-foot (3,400 m) height by around half a mile (800 m) when much of the volcano fell into the volcano's partially emptied neck and magma chamber. At 8,159 feet (2,487 m), Hillman Peak is now the highest point on the rim.” From Wikipedia:
