Text “Scientists Study Lake Mystery”
Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the USA. It also has the clearest water of any lake in the
USA.
Each year about a half-million people visit Crater Lake in Oregon. Some people take boats
onto the lake and look down into the beautiful blue water. The water is so clear that people might
see fish swimming at about 100 feet deep. On most lakes people can see things only about 10
feet deep.
Five years ago people noticed that the water in Crater Lake was beginning to look cloudy. No
one knew why. The U.S. Government asked scientists to solve the mystery.
This summer the scientists went down into the lake to find out what is causing the cloudiness.
The scientists used a tiny submarine. They explored the lake and become the first people to see
the bottom of Crater Lake.
The scientists found some surprises in Crater Lake. They saw towering cliffs near the bottom
of the lake. Hanging from one cliff was a large tree that had fallen into the lake. The scientists
saw the floor of the lake covered with tall mossy plants. One scientist saw holes that might have
been made by worms.
The scientists also found warm water at the bottom of Crater Lake. The warm water makes
scientists believe water is coming into the lake from underground hot springs. Scientists believe
the warm water is causing the cloudiness.
The History of Crater Lake
About 7,000 years ago a volcano erupted. The
powerful eruption caused the volcano to cave in. The
top of the volcano fell into the center of the volcano.
A giant hole or crater was formed.
Many years later the crater became filled with
water from rain and snow. A lake was formed.
People named it Crater Lake and made the land
around the lake into a national park.
