There is a pic of this in the nat. history museum............in the 2nd floor exhibit movie on plate tectonics..............they do not mention it by name..............they just show u a pic of it when they mention the Cascade mountain range and the eruption of Mt. St. Helens in the 1980s..........which is in Washington state......................sounds like Wash DC.......



]Two islands are in Crater Lake; Wizard Island formed from a cinder cone that erupted after Crater Lake began to fill with water, and the smaller Phantom Ship has seven different trees living on it. There are also colonies of violet green swallows and several varieties of wildflowers and lichens living there.
While having no indigenous fish population, the lake was stocked from 1888 to 1941 with a variety of fish. Several species have formed self-sustaining populations.[6]Since 2002, one of the state's regular-issue license plate designs has featured Crater Lake.[7] The commemorative Oregon State Quarter, which was released by theUnited States Mint in 2005, features an image of Crater Lake on its reverse.[8]
