Unique geological formation caused by volcanic eruption and the water it hit when the lava reaches the surface. Super cool sight to see, surrounded by flat lake bed so it sort of pops up on the horizon. Nice walking trail that walks through and around the crater. Next to Hole In The Ground, a similar formation.
