The cone is capped by a volcanic crater about 500 feet (150 m) wide and 100 feet (30 m) deep. The crater was named the "Witches Cauldron" by William Gladstone Steel in 1885, who also gave Wizard Island its name at the same time.

Just looking at wizard island is a five-star experience. Imagine the geology. This enormous volcano erupted. Then thousands of years later wizard island, a smaller volcano was born from the original.

Crater Lake features two small islands. Wizard Island, is near the western edge of the lake, (and views of it are accessible from the Rim Drive) is a cinder cone approximately 316 acres in size. It is separated from the caldera wall by Skell Channel. The other island is Phantom Ship. Wizard Island's s tallest point is 6,940 feet, but it looks small compared to the height of the caldera. It is also accessible from the water by boat trip and private fishing craft. (Inquire about these at the Visitor Center).

No access to this part of Crater Lake during covid. But how it came about after the lake had formed is pretty cool.

Can anybody find any wizards here? I came on an expedition to prove the existence of wizards but can’t seem to find a single one. Although this one man seemed to look like a lowlife from L.A which was a little suspicious to me. I won’t stop looking until I find one. I’ll keep on coming back. No one can stop me. No one.

Wizard Island is an island in Crater Lake. It is such an interesting feature to admire from the rim but I have always wanted to take the boat there.

Can confirm a little wizard lives here, he lives in the island, in the lake on the island
