Sample Questions Covered: • Why does Crater Lake sometimes look like a giant hole of blue darkness? • Is it normal to feel anxious near the rim? • Can the lake freeze solid? • Why does the water look like glass one moment and pitch, black the next? • Does the volcano beneath the lake still pose a danger? • Why does the air feel so thin? • Are the cliffs safe to stand near, or can they crumble?
